"Papaver Somniferum. Traced from a 3D source model. As with the other
botanicals, the pen colour was changed by hand mid-drawing."
Named after Papaver somniferum, this work draws on a botanical form whose intricate structure emerges through natural patterns and growth processes. Through computational means, it explores the parallels between organic form and generative systems.
Generated through autonomous computational processes and realized as a unique plotter drawing, this work draws on forms found in nature, where intricate structures emerge through simple patterns and rules. The work invites reflection on the parallels between organic growth and computational processes.
