New Work: Radial Translation
For a while now, I have been feeding clouds into code. Videos and photographs of the sky, broken down and rebuilt in Python from sets of marks I make by hand: painted, stamped, drawn, then digitized. The results have always settled into a grid, one mark to a cell, orderly and rectangular. Radial Translation is…
New Hatching Patterns
Another approach to dividing the skies with geometry. This time, the hatching itself is holding up reasonably well; the patterns read cleanly, and the logic feels closer to right, but the overall composition still needs refinement before it settles. Une autre approche pour découper les ciels à l’aide de la géométrie. Cette fois, le hachurage…

Translating Radial Patterns
After experimenting with radial placements, I started connecting the script to my digital stamping script and existing tile sets, letting the two systems feed one another. The results are early and imperfect. The moving cloud patterns are still hard to read, and much of the structure remains buried beneath the motion. However, even in this…

Newly Hatched Cloudscapes
I have returned to tweaking my composed hatching scripts, the ones that alternate between different hatching styles based on the colour depth of each region. Every shift in tone calls up a different pattern, and watching the sky resolve into those layered marks feels like the logic of how clouds actually behave. Notably, what I…

Generative Radial Iterations
I have been looking into taking my stamping patterns somewhere more complex, moving from the grid into the radial, and seeing what happens when the same logic is bent around a centre point. To get there, I started exploring them generatively, a way to test many configurations quickly before committing to any one. The goal,…

NFC Summit Lisbon
NFC Summit Lisbon has wrapped up, my third year taking part, and the summit has quietly become one of my favourite annual events. Over the years, it has grown into a real meeting point for artists, and what keeps drawing me back is the environment itself: welcoming, generous, and open to emerging artists and first-time…
