This drawing uses the Goose figure from a set of hand-digitized representational images. The full set consists of: Goose, Frog, Fat Cat and Elephant. I often used these interchangeable figures in my early works.

Coming and Going is the juxtaposition of two spiral configurations. The digitized figure of a goose is drawn at function-based intervals tangent to each curve at the interval. Also, as the figures are drawn along each curve they are scaled up in the middle and down at the ends.

Where the curves overlap, as one curve ends, the figures are rotated so they continue their flight path out into the second curve. Hence they come in on one curve and go out on the other. This notion is amplified by the fact that the figures are at their smallest size at the ends of the curves.

This piece was inspired by the works of M.C. Escher.

Dr. Bill Kolomyjec's Algorithmic Plotter Art, 1974-1981 collection image

I've been involved in many aspects of computer art/computer graphics. First as a student and pioneer of the medium at Michigan State University (MSU). Followed by several years of professing engineering graphics, computer graphics and computer art at The Ohio State University (OSU). Followed by being called upon to start a program at Northern Illinois University (NIU), College of Visual and Performing Arts, School of Art, Department of Design called Electronic Media, where I was an Associate Professor of Design.

This collection presents the original plotter drawings (pen on paper) programmed in FORTRAN, executed on a CDC6500 mainframe computer and an offline Calcomp 936 drum plotter. Done at Michigan State University during my MFA/PhD era, 1974-1981.

First buyer of every artwork gets an original print mailed to them. Contact me on Twitter to arrange this.
