Throwies

Throwies is a generative algorithm I discovered while working on a commission for the Bollag-Miller Claytons. Inspired by graffiti throw-ups, it transforms simple sine waves into sculptural forms that capture the bold, bulbous aesthetic of street art. These overlapping, undulating shapes swell and fold into one another, mimicking the stylized letters of throw-ups that balloon outward with exaggerated volume. The algorithm combines precise computational control with parameters that introduce controlled variation, producing forms that feel both precise and loose, like watching someone tag a wall in slow motion.
