Tapestries

Ambient tapestries created generatively with code written in Processing. The designs are made by layering lines sequentially and letting the stroke color gradually drift through Lab space.

I started experimenting with these drawings to explore what kinds of patterns could result from color progressions left to chance. Each tiling unit in the tapestry inherits its color from the units above, then shifts it slightly in a new direction. As this process repeats down the rows, larger passages of color emerge, expand and disappear through the design.
