His work is characterized by a visible transformation from order to chaos. This is well demonstrated by <em>Schotter<\/em> (1968), in which a rotation and transformation disorder a grid. Using this concept as a starting point, I created a grid of identical cells. While Nees applies rotation to the y-axis, I applied rotation to the x-axis. The image also varies from <em>Schotter<\/em> insofar as  the rows are staggered, creating sharp ziggurat-like steps that contrast with the randomness following the &#8220;aleatoric moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"397\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-18-at-9.44.57-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12086\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-18-at-9.44.57-PM.png 594w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-18-at-9.44.57-PM-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For my second image, I created a uniform row of layered triangles, for which I used randomness to determine the colors.
