As an artist, I like exploring the "in-betweens": abstract and figurative, traditional and modern, organic and computational.
It's in the in-between spaces that rules of either end converge & break and your imagination runs its most wild. The in-between is full of possibility.

"Yet, a qilin is never figuratively depicted in Memories by Xie. You won’t see a version of its physicality in any of the 1,024 outputs. But – you do almost see it. You almost see it as you almost see a flower, a landscape, a person, begging the question - why would a collection…

I find textiles thematically fascinating to explore in the context of generative art.
The jacquard loom, invented in 1804, used a punch card to program weave patterns, becoming a precursor to early computers.
Making textile-inspired art with code is a way of paying tribute to…
