The blue and yellow bowl designs were generated with that program. Then I wrote a generative program which had the computer randomly choose the seven key parameters that generated the bowl shape. It can generate billions of different bowl designs, some simple, some complex, some symmetric, some asymmetric, none boring. The gold bowl and red bowl designs were generated by that program. The purple vase is a pre-COVID print.
