As the year draws to a close, I’ve been creating new tile sets and reflecting on the past twelve months. It’s been a year full of events and growth. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post and newsletter!

Power Sculpting
I am working on a new sculpture, one that will bring together several elements, including power plugs. So I spent a couple of hours sculpting a power plug from scratch. Below is a behind-the-scenes peek: three screenshots from the process, each a stage further along. There is something quietly fitting in the exercise. A power…
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…
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…

Eleonora has accompanied this movement as a curator since its earliest days, and it shows in the reading. She…

Scanning Skies for Clouds
I am returning to a small project I set aside last year: a script that scans the sky for clouds and traces their contours. The work is far from finished, and the difficulties are instructive. Dark clouds and clouds sitting in shadow absorb so much of the blue spectrum that they become hard to separate…
