To print at this size is both incredibly fun and highly unpractical.

I dislike Art-speak. (deliberately sophisticated, abstract, often hard-to-understand language in contemporary art) Adding a minimum amount of words as a requirement for an artist statement does not help with keeping things consise : (
Text from a form saying: Artist statement must be between 700 and 1500 characters (currently 224)

My process for finding Bento outputs that I like is deliberately not that efficient. I enjoy taking my time and watching the outputs appear in an animated way.

Sometimes the machine creates twins.
Two outputs from my generative art series Bento. Both are compositions of rectangles, some with rounded corners, and circles. Mostly white on a dark blue background. Some shapes are red and some are yellow.

Bento definitely looks best in sets.
Three outputs from the generative art series Bento. Compositions of geometric shapes. Mostly squares, some with rounded corners, and some circles.

Often my projects don't require me to draw much and I forget how much I actually enjoy it. Some sketches for Foundling.
Four drawings of ideas for our game. Most show our creature Lai interacting with nature or other creatures.
