'Monolith'

This project started about eight years ago and was probably my first significant generative artwork created with Processing. 'Architectural Portraiture' has been a recurring theme in my work. The idea is well-suited to the generative art process, where, in this case, iterations develop from an extremely simple abstract motif and move toward figuration. This series is minimalist in that it utilizes only a rectangle, a circle, and a triangle, that, through recursion, are built up into something that can be both busy and elegant. The work sometimes resembles traditional patterns that use color, repetition, and a specific idiosyncratic and abstract language to evoke a kind of mental cultural landscape. Thanks for looking!
