Herba Stochia III (14/16)

Herba Stochia III is the third series of 16 pictures rendered with an algorithm that simulates organic plant growth. At first, the pictures are calculated using a generative computer program. Each picture is unique, with many random factors affecting the generation of the image.

Pictures are selected to be put on paper. They are then drawn with a plotter holding a Japanese bristle brush pen. The ink used in the pen is made from Icelandic crowberries from a recipe from the 17th century.

The result is a picture of a plant that is both organic and inorganic in many ways.

Each picture comes framed, numbered and signed.
