About the Trails
Welcome to my digital workshop. Here, I blend the structured world of code with the chaotic beauty of art. From p5.js generative canvases to narrative trails that weave through the Appalachian foothills and beyond, each project is a story of experimentation, failure, and discovery.
Like the neighbors who share their "First" stories—Andy's chisel, Carolyn's quilt blocks—my work is about the lessons learned in the making. Every glitch, every burnt trail, is a step forward.
The First Render
A tale of dial-up days, stuttering frame rates, and the magic that happens when you push the limits of old tech. Dive into the story of my first attempt at animation and the lessons it taught.
The First Stitch
Where every mistake is a lesson, and every glitch is a flower in the garden. Click on the canvas to reveal the story of my first digital art project, one stitch at a time.
The Glitch Forge
Drag your mouse to create generative art through controlled chaos. Each stroke is a glitch, each movement a mistake turned into magic. A tool for the beautiful slip.
P5.js Trails
Interactive generative art that evolves as you play. Each trail is a unique narrative, crafted with code and a dash of chaos.
Appalachian Mars
A surreal blend of the familiar and the alien. What if the Appalachian mountains were on Mars? Explore this generative landscape.
Colony Ledger
A data-driven art piece that visualizes the rhythms of a digital colony. Numbers don't lie, but they can sing.
