Acrylic on paper, 23 x 28″ framed.

Subtle Shift In Emphasis is a series of paintings created with a robotic pen plotter. The robot follows instructions produced by a generative algorithm that creates a unique output each time it runs. Multiple sine wave oscillation functions, each with differing periods and amplitudes, combine to alter the size and orientation of hundreds of polygons to create a layered organic form.

While working on this series, I thought about all of the hidden topologies that shape our lives; trying to put form to the formless. The curvature of a friendship, the boundaries of desire, the distance between aspirations.

A selection of paintings from this series is currently available for purchase at The Compound Gallery in Emeryville, CA.
