I seek to draw points and lines directly. I want to see if I can
convey a sense of depth and orientation, transform sculptures, and
draw designs on them. In pursuit of these objectives, I developed a
representation of sculpture that uses a function in which one inputs a
height and an angle and the corresponding point on the surface of the
sculpture is returned. This piece, Picasso’s Dove on Venus,
demonstrates what can be accomplished with such a function.
The piece is a computer generated image printed on fine art paper.
A link to a slideshow that includes animations of this piece and
others is provided below. The password is "bridges". I presented
this slideshow at the Bridges 2022 Art and Math conference in
Finland. I published a paper describing the approach in the
corresponding conference volume.
