Notes from the studio on generative systems, paper folds, and slow looking.

On drawing a line that does not know where it ends — building the Hex Recursion series from a single folded sheet.

For three months I folded the same sheet of washi. Each crease asked the next question, and a small system — a handful of rules in a Python script — decided how the line should answer. This essay traces the path from the first rejected draft to the final nine prints, including the moment the algorithm refused to settle and the studio had to learn to listen to it.
