Henkton

A special edition red 'Tekton' designed for the HEN Reunion event.　

Kwame Bruce Busia, a multidisciplinary artist, better known as Studio Yorktown.

Inspired by the design work of Bauhaus textile artists such as Gunta Stölzl, Anni and Josef Albers, 'Lebras' combines the proportions of both the Silver and Golden Ratios (1.414:1 and 1.618:1 respectively) to create a versatile five-column grid, within which unique compositions are formed.

Tesse-Lebras-ion!

'Tesse-Lebras-ion' is a combination of the 'Tesseract' and 'Lebras' designs in celebration of 3,000 followers on Twitter.

'Tesseract' is a generative collection drawing on the concept of the cube from oneirology, the interpretation of dreams. In many mythologies and fields of study, the square is considered a 'perfect shape', thus with its abstraction into three isometric dimensions, the cube is seen by some as a representation of the various aspects of the human condition.

A special edition Tesseract featuring an unused 'CYMKrazy' palette that was not included in the final version of the original collection.

Sabler

'Sabler', an anagram of 'Albers', is a generative homage to the work of the Bauhaus textile artist Anni Albers.The aesthetic of this piece and its proportions are guided by the Golden Ratio (1.618 : 1) and as such, each part of the composition relates in some way to its larger self.

Ersbla

Ersbla is part of the fxhash live minting experience at Proof of People, London 2022.

It is the third entry in a series of abstract generative experiments inspired by the graphic and textile work of Anni and Josef Albers. As a follow-up to the 'Sabler' and 'Lebras' collections, 'Ersbla' produces textile effects using a combination of thousands of tiny dots arranged on variable grids, resulting in a wide variety of unique Bauhaus-inspired compositions in a variety of palettes.

Despite depicting a stylised modern architectural language, at its core the collection serves as a homage to 1980s Japan, an era of unprecedented prosperity that left a lasting impression on the music and artwork of the time. Through the use of carefully created palettes and composition, the outputs intend to evoke feelings of optimism, while guiding viewers to consider why the essence of this era is so alluring in the present day as it continues to influence and inspire contemporary art.

Tekton : Optima

This version of Tekton is a fully generative version of a previously released, non-generative capsule collection of ten pieces entitled Tekton.

The original intent behind the first collection was to explore the possibility of creating structures through the use of reuseable models, similar to playing with blocks of LEGO.

It also served as a feasibility test for a subsequent collection Perpendicular Inhabitation.

A special edition 'Tesseract' design, featuring all 30 stations of Tokyo's Yamanote metro line.
