LookingOutwards-02 Dave Bollinger

I really loved Dave Bollinger’s collection of glass like geometric pieces. The pieces look like abstract stained glass, with really natural looking curves and divisions that look like it was shattered. I really like this randomness as it is satisfying how different each work looks while still being part of the same collection, and demonstrates a robust algorithm for randomization with many possible ways the “shards” could have been created. Also, the use of color is really amazing, the way some of the colors fade out looks the same way worn stained glass fades over time. It feels as if the sun is behind the patterns shining through. I admire this use of color because it shows dedication to recreating the effect of real glass and it must have been a complex effect to code. Most of these pieces focus on one color but a few of them have many colors which demonstrates that the algorithm must have been versatile in the way it filled in the shards.
