Entfaltung is German for unfolding. I begin with the pendulum drawings of Swiss healer-artist Emma Kunz (1892–1963) and unfold them out of the flat page into space and time. What Kunz fixed on graph paper, I set in motion. It is a living drawing, computed in real time. I pre-render nothing, and it never repeats.

Two-dimensional works on paper, drawn with a hybrid process that combines a mechanical plotter with pencil lines filled in by hand. A continuation of the pendulum drawings by Emma Kunz. Channeled from a large language model: our collective unconscious.

Entfaltung

Fans gather at three points on the vertical axis, at the top, the centre and the bottom, and two triangles open from them inside a set of concentric circles. Behind the circle, a faint grid of horizontal and vertical lines crosses the sheet. The plotter drew everything, in pen, pencil and ballpoint; nothing is drawn by hand.

One of four *Meridian* drawings. All four are built on a circle of evenly spaced points: chords between the points form a star polygon, and fans of lines gather at points on the vertical axis.
