Genuary 18

Abstract art of light pink lines on a dark background. The lines are horizontal and vertical, evenly spaced, and some junctions are marked with light pink dots

Unexpected path. Draw a route that changes direction based on one very simple rule.

My rule: Beginning in the center, alternate drawing horizontal and vertical lines with random end points constrained to a grid. Each end point becomes the start point of the next line. Mark the start point of approximately 30% of the lines with a small dot.

A repeating pattern composed of ladder shapes on a black background. The ladders are yellow, light blue and red. Some ladders are rotated, others are missing to disrupt the pattern.

Wallpaper group.

I like to disrupt repeated patterns using probability. In this arrangement, for example, the smaller blue ladder is sometimes replaced with an even smaller yellow one. The image still functions as an unbroken tiling with some variations emerging in the wallpaper.
