Visual Weaver is ongoing work on a generative system, that is based on sieve fractals, which is a combination of a latvian ornamental sign algorithm (belt of Nica) and fractal algorithms. The work creates complex ornaments which appear to have an infinite depth and seeks to explore if there is a higher meaning behind.
It started as an inspiration from traditional weaving arts, experimenting with similar algorithms in a digital medium, where there exist no limitations like thread count or color variety.
Modris Tenisons - one of the authors of the original paper about Nica belt - commented that this: "The latvian ornament applied to large-scale architecture."
Four seasons was created as an idea/sketch for the Riga light festival.
