Across a wide, untouched pale field of paper crystalline chaos erupts: countless sharp angular polygons—triangles, quadrilaterals, jagged shards—interlock and overlap in a dense, restless lattice of black graphite strokes. Crisp yet frantic lines stab outward in every direction, points thrusting defiantly as though structure itself has been violently shattered and its fragments frozen mid-flight.
The composition stretches horizontally like a frozen blizzard of geometric lightning—no central figure, no depth, no horizon line to anchor it—only raw, hypnotic fragmentation suspended in void. Heavy overlapping builds near-opaque clusters in places, while thinner trails fray at the edges, creating rhythmic tension between dense entanglement and scattering dissolution.
The stark monochromatic palette—velvety blacks against pale paper—amplifies urgency and infinite complexity: every mark feels algorithmic yet hand-executed, chance decisions rendered with precise fury.
Notice how the relentless interlocking shards pull the eye across the band in ceaseless motion, then scatter it outward into the surrounding white—balancing contained frenzy with expansive disintegration.
Part of the Tychist Objects series, this unique drawing channels tychism—Charles Sanders Peirce’s philosophy of objective chance as a creative force. Algorithmic random-number processes guided form, placement, and density, yet the artist’s hand brought each stroke to life, merging indeterminacy with human gesture. The result: a visual emblem of beauty born from true randomness—order exploded into exquisite, unyielding complexity.
How does this silent cataclysm of geometry stir your sense of fragmentation, hypnotic disorder, or the poetry of structure dissolving into infinite chance?
