Out of Red This original artwork, part of the "Displaced" series, combines digital and analog expressions of generative art. The drawing was first made with code using an algorithm to generate unexpected outcomes. Over 30.000 short lines drawn, applying over 100m of paint on paper. The paper is purposely moved between the first and second layers to create a misalignment of the drawings. Made with code (Javascript & SVG). Original / Unique edition. Signed and stamped. Shipped unframed inside a tube.

Ever since Strands of Solitude was released by @williamapan over a year ago, I’ve been searching for a piece that felt right to own - checking newly listed pieces multiple times a day, every day. A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to see #138 listed by @jpscd who has been its steward since mint. This is a special piece, featuring an echo chamber and glimpse of joy with a stunning Blues palette. It is reminiscent of Mapan’s Dragons due to the glimpse of joy and @mattdesl’s Meridians due to the undulating waves in the echo chamber. Thank you to João for giving me the honour of carrying on the stewardship of this special piece. It is in good hands.
