Ribbons: Two Sheets in Black

Ribbons: Two Sheets in Black (2022) Pixels are to computer screens as lines are to plotters. If you draw many pixels in the same place you are left with a single pixel, but if you draw many lines in the same place you are left with a torn sheet of paper. "Ribbons" are an algorithm I developed to elevate the line by giving it depth, width, and the presence to occlude its neighbors, ultimately preserving the page they are drawn upon. The seven pieces exhibited in this series are a small sample of the range this algorithm has, each chosen to highlight the delightful complexity that emerges from carefully overlapping many lines.
