About the Sinusoidal Grids Project
The Sinusoidal Grids are digital drawings from a series of Grid projects. The primitive cell in each of these patterns is generated by a small program. I have replaced the normally static cell with a small program which randomly varies the resulting pattern. In this project the patterns are cells arranged in multiple sinusoidal tracks, forming a grid. The cells are not congruent, and they overlap, so the result is not a tessellation.

It's possible to create coordinate-based grids based on other functions – Fermat's spiral for example. I can simulate the module-based grid, with common corner vertices, or use coordinates to position cells without common vertices.

I explore small programs in somewhat the same way I would use traditional media. I have a general idea of the result I am attempting to achieve before I start coding. I work through various challenges during the process. I selectively discard or keep elements as I approach the final rendering.
