As an artist, I like exploring the "in-betweens": abstract and figurative, traditional and modern, organic and computational. It's in the in-between spaces that rules of either end converge & break and your imagination runs its most wild. The in-between is full of possibility.

I find textiles thematically fascinating to explore in the context of generative art. The jacquard loom, invented in 1804, used a punch card to program weave patterns, becoming a precursor to early computers. Making textile-inspired art with code is a way of paying tribute to
