Spiromorphs

Spiromorphs are procedural roulette figures that generate emergent spiral morphologies from a unique hash. Each configuration is constructed from chained circles that overlay periodic motions, producing endless variations of color and form with patterned yet quasi-chaotic behavior.

The project grew from a long-running interest in natural form, symmetry, growth, generative systems, and morphology. It brings years of code-based research into an aesthetic exploration of spiraling forms.

The system produces six morphology types—Sling, Puff, Bond, Cycle, Warp, and Star—along with sixteen color combinations, six symmetry folds, and three animation speeds. Direction, length, opacity, circle count, and rotation are all driven by the hash.

Each variation is drawn through a method related to the plotting action of a spirograph. High increments and long trajectories allow the algorithm to create smooth formal visualizations and animated color studies.

Five percent of the project proceeds were designated for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in support of families affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
