Plots (Black Pen on White Paper, White Pen on Black Paper)
SVG (50:50 Lines to Arc)
SVG (30:70 Lines to Arc)
My inspiration for this project was to create a pattern out of straight lines and arcs that create strange irregular forms, while paying attention to how a plot could differ with varying ratios of line to arc generation within the piece. I found that messing with the ratio resulted in a sweet spot in the drawing that has a “brain-like” patterning. This is more evident in the black on white version, and with a larger stroke when the lines are more contrasted and touch edges with one another. I think I could’ve added more pattern-like qualities to this project, as it falls short on having larger forms that exist in the tilling. Part of me wanted to do something from scratch that was different from the approach to Wang tiles, that could also generate a somewhat organized pattern.
