Four pieces — 2026

The mark,
the field,
the surface.

Statement

These four pieces move from the single gesture to the living system. A mark appearing on paper. A field of marks breathing. Water that visits and leaves. A swarm crossing the boundary between order and chaos. All still made from internal rules — but the rules are about time, about the body of the mark, about what it feels like to watch something happen.

020

—

Vertical marks appearing one by one on warm cream. Each drawn top-to-bottom with pressure taper and slight wander. Variable spacing with occasional long pauses — rhythm as temporal experience. The static end-state holds the spatial evidence of the rhythm.

021

—

A living field. Fifty-two vertical marks alive simultaneously, each with its own draw, hold, and fade arc. When one expires, another is born. The population stays constant. No done state — the field is always mid-process.

023

—

Water. Twenty waves with stratified angles, domain warp, and a disturbance envelope — four drifting patches that modulate wave amplitude spatially. Outside the patches: dead calm. Inside: golden sparkle that blooms and fades. A dark pool where light visits and leaves.

—

Twenty-five hundred particles chasing two Lorenz attractors. The attractors' parameters slowly vary, crossing the chaos boundary — the swarm transitions between order and turbulence. Periodic bursts scatter particles into space. Additive blending, full color spectrum. The loudest piece in the series.
