The following piece depicts the individual feathers that make up a Native American dreamcatcher, rightfully named Feathered Dreamcatcher. While the strands are individualistic, they are still synthesized into a cohesive unit. The work started as a single, lightweight feather, but as more agents were added the feathers began to form into a singular unit which allowed for the circular shape. The agents were then moved into position so that they could emulate the dreams. The agents spiraling outward represent the good dreams which are released. The chaotic origin dictate a place for the bad dreams to be caught.

Wow these look awesome! It's really cool how all the pieces fit together.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!! How do you make these feathers?
ReplyDeleteIt was done by using a radial pattern which backtracks. If you imagine creating a circle, you must move forward some distance, then change direction. Instead of immediately changing direction, you instead send the agent (turtles) backward before continuing on.
DeleteReally enjoyed what you did Blaise. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHey Jeret -- I think you accidentally put in *your name* as "Spring CSC117" -- you might want to edit your Blogger.com settings!
DeleteI did that for my name as well at first. . .
