Generative Abstraction is a research project for visual art and computer science. It begins with freehand drawings: one line leads; the second follows. Double meandering line drawings combine the known with the unknown, like an equation, or a shell. With computer scientist Dr. Amy Gooch and an undergraduate student Shelly Gao who studies drawing and programming UVIC, we turned my drawing into an algorithm. 

     
  To turn my drawing game into a computer program, we came up with ways of quantifying the drawing.  It was an experiment.  The results constitute an outstanding example of interdisciplinary research between visual art and computer science.
