Generative Art

These galleries are a set of working "sketchbooks", each exploring an idea through a number of steps, and each to be regarded as a learning exercise rather that productions of finished artwork.

Epicycles

These figures are generated by epi-cyclic motions where the selection of harmonics is constrained to produce forced symmetries.

Generative Circles

To some extent this was inspired by the Spirograph toy (which goes back to my youth and is still apparently available today). This is perhaps most apparent in the earlier pictures.
