Blossom

Genuary Prompt 24: Geometric art, was available at editArt.xyz

The prompt for Genuary 24 is 'Geometric art', and we are instructed to 'pick either a circle, rectangle, or triangle and use only that geometric shape'. A challenge, I thought, as my first inclination was towards stark lines, bold outlines, and clear delineation. How can I take this in a more organic direction? I thought back to some work on particle systems, moving towards twisted, sprouting, tree-like shapes. What if each particle was only a single geometric form: proof, therefore, that geometric need not mean inorganic. As Benoit put it, 'Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles', and yet here, these beautiful, blossom-laden trees are exactly that: circles, triangles, or rectangles.

Blossom was a free mint in an edition of 192, available to view, and possibly buy, here. You can find out more about the process of creating Blossom here.
