I initially began replicating a design that consisted of circles that were repeatedly drawn around the canvas. As simple as it seemed as a design, it was a slightly hard to maintain the essence of Fred Tomaselli in the code, as well as add my own stylistic features to it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5185\" style=\"width: 501px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-05-at-1.16.03-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5185\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-05-at-1.16.03-AM-300x187.png\" alt=\"By Saloni Patel, 2016 \" width=\"501\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-05-at-1.16.03-AM-300x187.png 300w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-05-at-1.16.03-AM-1024x640.png 1024w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-05-at-1.16.03-AM-624x390.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By Saloni Patel, 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fred&#8217;s work has a variety of color gradients, something I haven&#8217;t added to my own generative sketches.
