Historical Significance
In many of Csuri's early plotter drawings, he experimented with different mathmatical formulas and parameters to try to create textures, light and shadow in his work.
Artist's Comments
A line drawing was transformed mathematically into a shaded image. Then a spiral, rectangle, triangle, and star were used as character symbols through each line segment. A random number generator determined the intensity. The size of each symbol is a function of its distance from a reference point outside the picture. This image is an example where the spiral was used as the character symbol.
