Write the seed
A small JavaScript program. Noise, a grid, a recursive rule — the whole collection lives in a few hundred lines.
Recently I dove into Piet Mondrian's work. I've always been fascinated by his geometrical creations. So I thought I would make a humble homage to the Master, by offering my generative interpretation with a pattern twist. This design is the digital version of my pen plotter work, and it brings together 3 editions in one piece.
Each piece in this collection follows the same four steps, from code to box.

Render variants in the browser, scroll through hundreds, mark the ones with weight. The rest go in the bin.
Send the chosen variant to the AxiDraw. A real pen, on a real sheet. One pass, no retouches.
Archival sleeve, board backing, flat box. Out of the studio in Leiden, tracking included.
