Generative Mandala Pottery

Fractal geometries are found in various structures of ancient cultures. Some of these structures are built on foundational proportional grids or "Mandala" and the superstructures follow infinite geometric sequences. This series of works is directly inspired by shrines, temples, and other mandala based structures.

The algorithm first creates a foundational grid pattern based on proportionality rules of mandala. This grid is then extruded recursively in 3D space. Its exterior surface is then modulated along a geometric curve to manually give it shape. This shape is recursively rotated along the base to add branches and in this way, the resulting digital sculptures are formed.
