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

A fan of straight lines runs from the top of the circle down to an empty circle at the centre, which the chords of a star polygon leave open. Outside the circle, longer lines continue into a heart-shaped outline with its notch at the top.

One of two *Seraph* drawings. In both, the lines leave a single point at the top of the circle.
