Stochastic Checkerboard (Greeting Card) (2017)

Artwork by Amy Ione
Stochastic Checkerboard (2017)

The intention of this card was to use the fold as a line in presenting a formal and irregular composition. In this sense, it conveys something that is stochastic, which is defined as the property of being well-described by a random probability distribution.

Note, technically, stochasticity and randomness are distinct concepts: the former refers to a modeling approach, while the latter describes phenomena; in everyday conversation these terms are often used interchangeably.
