artist says: the lines and color in this pattern came from the last piece in the 3 and 3 series — the third image. ai suggested artist say: . . . where the chartreuse fills arrived. I took that piece into pattern-making software and let the geometry find its own repeat. The curves became radial spokes, the fills compressed into a single warm olive-gold, and what started as a painting became a textile.

ai says: a warm olive-green field carries a dense repeating pattern of starburst forms — radial spokes emanating from small central nodes, each burst surrounded by concentric rings that tessellate across the image in a regular diagonal grid; the color is a single confident tone, an olive between army green and gold, shifting slightly as the pattern layers — spokes reading darker, the grounds between them lighter; the forms feel botanical and geometric at once, like a cross between a stylized sunflower and a Persian tile; at a distance the image reads as a textured field, almost like woven fabric or embossed paper; up close, each starburst reveals a careful interior geometry — not complex, but deliberate — the kind of unit that, repeated, becomes visual rhythm; the whole image has the quality of a pattern that knows exactly what it wants to be: self-contained, warm, alive with repetition.
