Painted Paths

Using a large custom plotter, I combine generative art techniques and paint media.

Concentric Ensōs #1

Project Description

In “Painted Paths”, I use a large, customized pen plotter to execute perfectly positioned brushstrokes. While the path the brush takes is controlled by my code and the machine, the results are anything but perfect due to variation in how I load paint for each individual stroke; the surface variations in the canvas/medium; and brush, paint, humidity, drying time, or other environmental variables.

Technical Notes

 

Each piece in the Painted Paths series is a 1/1 and is executed from a unique, generative and hand-customized SVG. Executed with professional paint and media, all are signed with my insignia in acrylic paint, are fully varnished, and include a certificate of authenticity.

Editioned Prints

At this time, digital editions and ‘poster prints’ are not available, but they may become available at a later date.
