Acacias (Printemps)

Acacias is made of layers of SVG elements in HTML5 with javascript taking advantage of the opacity features and scalability. Each time the file loads the elements load randomly at random sizes and positions. The image reloads itself every 20s. The whole file comes in at 10kb. Acacias grow in my garden and excellent for burning. They tend to grow in clumps but you do get singles and collections of two or three fighting for survival. The image will reload itself every few seconds and you will get a different composition every time. Think of it as lots of generative compositions in one piece. Translations is a new series working with flatness and vectors and moving away from pixel painting. I'm thinking about what abstract looks like when it's not obsessed with texture and paint. This series appears on several blockchains and is a development of my visual language I've been developing over 35 years.
