Running Moon depicts the nuanced interaction between clouds and moonlight. It is a search for boundaries between structure and fluidity, precision and errors. It is a quest for harmony. The rendering of Running Moon is inspired by stained glass and watercolor. It captures the sharpness of the glass and the softness of light using abstract forms. As organic shapes gradually expand to fill the space, brush-pen-like stripes solder these pieces together to form intricate compositions

Stained glass works often have restrictions on the size and shape of individual glass pieces due to physical properties and production requirements. While Running Moon does not have these physical restrictions, I imposed a set of additional segmenting lines to balance the composition.

There are 8 different types of segmenting lines. Here are examples that demonstrate how the same set of expansion shapes would react to different types of segmenting lines.

The core idea behind Running Moon is expansion. Starting from a focal point, curves gradually spread across the page. As a result of this expansion, groups of versatile curves cut the canvas into shapes. I refer to these shapes as Expansion Shapes.

There are 10 different types of expansion shapes, each producing a wide range of curves with unique characteristics

ÂPEX Is a generative landscape art project responding to the conditions of the Anthropocene, where the lines between what is possible and what is only imagined are constantly shifting. Simplified circles give way to hyperreal spaces and it is unclear whether at any point in the transition they resemble a landscape that one could actually inhabit.

At what point do abstract shapes start to resemble believable environments? Each viewer may experience this work differently, depending on where they draw the line between realism and abstraction, natural form, reality and fantasy. While landscape art is traditionally understood to represent natural forms, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between the natural and manufactured.

When the code runs its course and a static picture emerges, a thin barrier seems to be crossed. The work tests out the limits between reality and hyperrealism, between abstraction and surrealism, blurring distinctions between them.
