is a continuation of Hobbs’ investigation into combining hand drawings and algorithmic processes. Each work in this series began as a curve drawn by hand. These curves are then transformed by his custom algorithms into the final works.

This series embodies a free, loose energy that only quick drawings can impart. Hobbs designed the generative algorithm to uphold this essence, relinquishing concern for meticulous placement. As a result, each piece features distinct characteristics, born from the fusion of hand-drawn diversity and the intrinsic unpredictability of the algorithm.
