This is a 1973 computer drawing by Alan Sutcliffe. It’s abstract and made with a very early computer tool. Sutcliffe used math rules to make the shapes, not his hand. The piece was a gift for John Lansdown, a friend he worked with for years. Sutcliffe later wrote about simple math rules that create surprising patterns. Look up the artist Sutcliffe, Alan.
