Saw Wave by Martin Hansen 

Saw Wave (2005)

When I first started creating ArtGraphs the software that I'd written was slow. 
I was exhibiting at a computer show in Birmingham, December 2004,
when Anthony Hains offered to write the critical routines in fast machine code.
Within a couple of weeks I had my program running ten times faster.
Saw Wave was my first creation using the enhanced software.
I still like the simplicity of the construction but impact of the image.
I was experimenting with applying a concentric ring effect to a sine wave and
obtained the 'watery sheen' by accident.
It's really an optical illusion due to the particular colours being used.
