Observations:
- The artwork is square.
- The artwork consists of many short black lines, on a white background.
- The lines all have the same length.
- The lines directions vary
- The lines tend vertical
- The lines are in a grid
- The grid is interrupted intermittently by white space
- The interruptions tend to group in larger blobs
- The distances between the centers of the lines is half the length of the lines
- The grid is 56x56
- The lines are thin and black
- The background is white

Reproducing the shape of the work was easy. I got the lines the right length and at the right intervals pretty quickly, and once some random element was introduced to the angles, the picture looked very reminiscent of Molnar's work. figuring out that I should use Gaussian distribution to get the lines pointing mostly vertically but still randomly also took a short amount of time. However, the titular interruptions were very difficult to reproduce and I don't think I quite succeeded. I tried to create the interruptions using just the random function. My method was thus: I had each line look at the lines around it to decide how likely it was to disappear, then I spent a really long time futzing with the various numbers to try to get it to look a little more like Molnar's piece.
