Water soluble graphite on Arches paper, 31.5 x 25.5” framed.

A robotic pen plotter following instructions produced by a generative algorithm drags a felt-tipped pen filled with water over a shaded background of soft graphite on cold-pressed watercolor paper. Where the paper is wet, dark black lines form, producing two overlapping triangular helices. From amorphous blobs of carbon, a spark of life emerges.
