The artist's first robotic brush strokes were achieved in 1987. The strokes achieve spontaneous qualities using coded procedures. The software generates a brush form and requests a paint brush. The artist places a loaded brush in the plotter's drawing arm and the plotter executes the stroke. For the text-like characters a self inking sumi brush is employed much like an ink pen.
The linear character in the medallion was plotted algorithmically and identifies the controller for the brush stroke and all the pen strokes in a specific work.
