The works shown here were created using genetic software coded by the artist. The software system used is called GA1 and is described in a paper that was presented at the Generative Art Conference in Milan Italy in 2000. That paper is available in the "academia" section of this web site.

The overall composition of each "drawing" is based on circles and golden proportion ellipses. Digital chromosomes determine the color, shape, size, and structure of the various individuals which aggregate to create the large circular forms. As in plants, the expression of identical chromosomes result in unique, yet visually similar, instances.

The lightbox drawings were imaged on standard photographic transparency materials, and then mounted in industrial lightboxes with color controlled lamps. .Created on a Lightjet processor, each resulting transparency is a
300 dpi exposure with over 100 million fully rendered continuous tone dots.

Due to the combination of large scale and very fine marks, these lightbox drawings are difficult to display properly on a web site.

The detail images provided here will display on most monitors at their approximate actual size, but at a greatly reduced resolution.
