Moving Colors
These were inspired by the palettes and lines in Bridget Riley's color paintings:
If you're ok with twitchy things you can make them move.

Ruining Riley
Bridget Riley uses color and tessellating patterns in her paintings. The colors in Nataraja, 1993 feel chaotic to me but the lines provide the harmony. I used a script to add a different kind of tessellation on top which breaks the whole thing:
