Horizons was an image intended as a wedding present for friends. The couple were Mormons and seagulls have some significance to them in their faith. At the time I wasn’t quite sure what marriage was about, but it seemed to me that it was about a commitment as a couple to move off together into the future. To me the future lies on the horizon.
The representational image of a seagull was first drawn on graph paper and hand-digited for this image. The spacing between each line of seagulls is determined by mathematical function (sinusoidal interval). I.e., the viewer is looking sideways (perpendicular to the axes of the cylinder) at the bottom half of a cylinder.
A random number of seagull images are randomly distributed on horizontal lines relative to their size to maintain an illusion of perspective. The same function was also used to determine the scale of the seagulls on each line.
The horizontal lines on the bottom are a mirror image of the quarter cylinder (the top quarter of a cylinder).
The viewer is drawn unknowingly to the horizon (into the future) which lies between the converging curved surfaces.
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.
