Fine Lines

I love the idea of using simplicity to hint at complexity, particularly using combinations of primitive shapes to imply greater detail. Previously, I attempted to use generative algorithms to recreate existing artwork with triangles. Impressed with the results, I decided to take this one step further, and reproduce images with something even more primitive - lines.

Evolutionary Art

I’ve loved genetic algorithms ever since first exploring them during my degree; the idea of allowing a population to “evolve” until they produce a suitable solution is something that fascinates me. But until now, all of my existing genetic applications had been to solve more mathematical, academic problems - I wanted to apply the principle to art.

Windmills

Here’s a little excerpt from the novel that I’m (slowly!) working on - a short dialogue on resting places and how we are remembered.

Beating Perfectionism with Life Drawing

I went life drawing for only the second time ever yesterday, and I think I might have found a potential cure to my constant battle with perfectionism. Let me explain…
