curio #54

This generative artwork is a study on spatial perception through ambiguous drawings. The use of oblique projection opens the opportunity for the viewer to create their own interpretation of the spatial illusion. Three dimensional geometry is textured and rendered and further manipulated as a two dimensional image. The colors emerge in the process of translating between dimensions. The ambiguous interpretations are further strengthened by allowing each iteration to be viewed from four orientations.

The project is inspired by the drawings of architects El Lissitsky and Ilya Chashnik, both associated with the Suprematist movement.
