I’m an American procedural code-based artist living in central California. I use creative coding as an artistic medium.
My earliest code-based work dates from the early 1980’s, written in BASIC on a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. During the 1990’s I coded with C/C++/Pascal on IBM PC’s. During the 2000’s, I discovered Processing and my work since has been based in Java and Javscript. Regardless of the underlying tool or technology, my interest has always been to find creative applications of it that suit my artistic endeavors.
My most recent work has focused on the production of unique physical pieces via a pen-plotter. All physical plots depicted here are available for purchase, see the Patrons page for information if interested - thank you!
Series 5 Brōkunŏt (D202503xx) LE
The title of this project is a play on the words “broken unknot”. A single circle, arranged within in a vast space of ambient isotopic equivalence, but intentionally damaged with introduced flaws, i.e.: an unbroken circle... that has been broken.
11” x 17”, unframed. ID’d, numbered and signed, titled on back.
