It feels so rewarding to look back and see my practice developing. I focus so much on the future that I don't notice all the changes I have gone through.

One of my works in the group exhibition was a composition of 7 40x40 cm prints. It was super interesting to experiment with splitting a pattern up in shapes, thereby adding another dimension of geometry to the work. I love 💙💛 how the colors came out.

I just realised I never posted about an exhibition I was in with Galerie der Villa at HyperCulturalPassengers in Veddel, Hamburg earlier this year from February 20th to March 2nd. I have really not been keeping my socials up to date lately 😂 Is this what freedom tastes like? 😋 #geometricart

Brain says no 😂👏 well done!

The mushroom 🍄 that provided the colors for this work was such a great find. I love how bright the red and orange colors ❤️🧡 burn in the yellow light from the low sun. I can't get over the diversity of plants, mushrooms, and bugs 🍀🍄‍🪲 I keep on finding around me since I started looking for them.

This is the last work in the series 🎨 I feel excited about moving on to posting about other projects ✨

This is 9_14_1_126_201_1_8 from a series I created during autumn 2024. For these works I combined a pattern of flowing shapes, with color gradients developed from photos of trees, leaves, and insects. #geometricart #abstractart #concreteart

Time to code a generator I guess 🙈

You have been working so hard on this. It is really great that it is coming together in the way you envisioned! 🥳

I mean, if you say I am right, who am I to argue against that 😂

And now players need to be able to zoom in closer to see all the care you took while crafting these objects 😂

Can the producer/consumers be colored like what crates they make?

I imagine a counter on each consumer and a connection to a producer that light up when the required amount has been consumed. Producer requiring all incoming connections to light up before creating output 🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪

Are you saying that it is helpful to select rabbit holes carefully before diving in? 😂 yeah, sounds reasonable

Tooling time 🛠️🥽 maybe something that brings the parts together in a single view, automates the handling it the resource files, and allows you to copy/paste stuff around as needed when inserting new or modifying existing content?

I like the almost 3d quality of the layered colors. Find it visually really interesting 🤩✨ very cool

Something about the almost-symmetry really caught my eye. And when I began looking closer and zooming I had a moment of wondering if it was pen plotter art before coming back around 😂 what a rollercoaster. Great work! 🥳

It is easy to get distracted 😆 but I don't complain when it leads to interesting outcomes ✨

Nice simple set of rules creating interesting structures 👍

Now extrapolate that realization to most people doing public speaking and sprinkle some llm generated content in there, and tell me what you think the future will be like 😵 I just made myself sad.

Love these two. Immediately begin imagining what algorithms went into creating them 🧠✨😂

I find the bright blue sky to be such a wonderful contrast to the orange-red-brown tones of the dried up leaves. Reminiscent of the summer gone by, yet announcing that cold winter days are drawing ever closer ☀️🍃🌨️

These colors remind me of the last few dry days of autumn ☀️🍁 The warm glow of the blanket of leaves covering the ground. Kicking up bunches of them 🥾🍂 as I am walking under the bare branches. Feeling the last heat of sunrays before winter arrives.

Last autumn I found so incredibly many sources of seasonal colors 🍃🍂🍁 This is one of my favorites because wide scale of colors. Green, yellow, orange, red, and brown coming together in a progression 🌈 like the passage of time from summer through autumn to winter ☀️🍃🌨️

I like to experiment with gradients that have contrasting groups of lighter and darker colors ⚪⚫ And if I can manage it, a group of colors with similar lightness to bring out some Mach bands 🩶 It all adds more dimensions to the work.

This gradient is proof that even the most potato quality smartphone camera photos 📸 can have interesting colors in them. I am weary of how much post-processing the smartphone software does to "enhance" ✨ the outcome though. I always make sure at least to tweak exposure and temperature.

I am excited 🤩 about how the color combinations come across in the detail views. Concentrated little bites of greenery joy 🌳 The lightness of the colors is different enough that the Mach bands are less pronounced than I would like them to be. With some patience, they still appear though 💚🩵👀
