For this brand new work, Jazmin will present a series of visual code illustrations inspired by the architecture of Selby Abbey and the stories of vibrant local community members. Through this series, Jazmin positions creative coding as a contemporary approach to traditional stained glass techniques. The iconography of stained glass has been used for centuries to tell stories and document history. Here, the artist transforms this traditional approach, presenting a view into a new place of reflection.

Here you can discover, edit and expand ‘Through the Liquid Crystal Display’. Read more about the inspiration behind each of the works in the series and take a piece of the art ‘Homeward’ with you…

Download the code-generated images and continue the journey home. These images are designed to be used as screensavers for mobile, tablet or desktop.

If you use the images beyond personal use, please credit the artist ‘Through the Liquid Crystal Display, Jazmin Morris’.

If you are keen to investigate the process of this work, Jazmin has provided links to view and edit the code. Each piece was developed using p5.js, a free and open-source JavaScript library built by an inclusive, nurturing community. Take a peek if you are interested in seeing how a self-taught creative coder approaches a project like this. p5.js will automatically allow you to edit the code; worry not, this will not affect the original project. Play with colours, shapes and locations to put your own digital stamp on the work. Press the ‘S’ key in the code editor to save an image of the illustration to your device at any point.

In the spirit of p5.js, you are welcome to fork the code and create your own illustration. If you share your outcome publicly, please credit the artist ‘Through the Liquid Crystal Display, Jazmin Morris’.
