PetalsInGardens

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Ku Shulan”, PetalsInGardens takes SonicPi & Hydra code and blends them with images of flowers and sounds related to gardens and forests.

This is to represent Ku Shulan’s paper cutting style that tends to include a lot of floral cutouts through various hues and forms. Sounds used in the SonicPi composition were taken from the BBC sound effects library.

Poetry

Roses still growing their petals
That with a breeze may be floating
But it isn’t only the roses
But the poses
That can be arranged by the floral
To tell stories of the royal
Of the common
Of the pages that have yet to be summon
As these are just some of the motions
Some of life’s potions
Which motto will you start quoting?
To finish off the latter part
For this canvas, what will be your art?
