Random Walks: Paper Cycles

Posted on by

I posted the Minumental random walk drawing, and then I realized: I never posted the set of random walks I did for my MassArt thesis back in 2008. Well, let’s fix that oversight! Here is a gallery of the 10 random walks I created using 22″ x 22″ paper, a pencil and a spinner made out of the bottom of a cup, like so:
Creation

I start at the center of the paper, let the spinner spin, and then draw a line to where it points. Then I reposition the spinner to the new point, and spin again. I do this until the line intersect the edge of the paper, then I start back at the center.
Here are the 10 drawings I made in my thesis show:

And here’s a gallery of the individual pieces:

Remember this letterpress print?

ASCII Interpretation of Stella's Lac Laronge IV Printed in Avocado Green and Harvest Gold

It’s available for purchase at the MassArt Spring Auction, along with plenty of other excellent works of art. I was at the Auction Preview on Wednesday, and I found works by several of my friends, as well as a large Chuck Close, two lovely small prints by William Kentridge, a Jenny Holzer, a William Wegman, a Breon Dunigan and a Joe Fig.
