Ateliers by Sarah Ridgley

"We paint what seems to rise, then fall: The light, which streams, untouchable." Drawing inspiration from Sol LeWitt’s observation that “the most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it is relatively uninteresting,” Ateliers transforms the mundane cube into a dynamic expression of the creative process. By breaking the cube into its subsidiary partitions, the algorithm generates a malleable space where boundaries are removed and the artist is free to explore without constraint. Through the play of planes and edges, Ateliers tells a story of artistic evolution and the endless pursuit of new possibilities. Made with JavaScript and p5js. Controls Press [p] to pause/unpause the painting process. Press [spacebar] to save the image. Add “?pd=4” to the URL and reload for a higher resolution file.
