One line leads; the second follows.
Each drawing begins with a single point. The first dimension is a point. One line leads from a point. A second follows in parallel. A pair of lines implies the thickness of two dimensions. Lines appear to pass beneath eachother implying depth. |

Margaret Matthews-Berenson will include silverpoint Double Meandering Line Drawings in an exhibition at Scripps College, California in September 2010 .If abstraction is for visual art, generative Abstraction is for art and computer science. | |

Generative Abstraction is a research project for visual art and computer science. 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. The double-meandering algorithm is a 4d drawing because it unfolds in time. Wether in silverpoint, sharpie, pencil and iphone application, all double-meandering line drawings trace complexity of a mark. More lines make the drawing more complex. Saul Anton suggested lines are more interesting because theybegin or end without apparent cause. |
