Licia He
Shiqing (Licia) He is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan, School of information. She researches in the HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) area to support art and creativity. Licia He believes in the beauty of randomness and rules. Passionate about programming and traditional visual art, Licia focuses on creating generative art, a domain where she can connect art and technology seamlessly. Licia starts her works by finding inspirations in geometry and natural patterns. After formulating her ideas into clear drafts, she then translates the algorithm behind the concept into code (in python and javascript), which produces infinite variations under the same rules. In her current practices, Licia selects the best compositions from these variations and executes them using a high-precision pen plotter. She regularly shares her works on her website (eyesofpanda.com) and through Instagram (@blahblahpaperblah).

An Abstract Watercolor Painting Made with a Plotter.. This artwork is implemented with a plotter. After designing the artwork digitally (mostly through programming), I used an Axidraw to execute the design. This work is part of my generative art collection. I created this work with code (mostly python or javascript). Because of the use of specialty paints such as metallic watercolor and Sumi ink, this work would appear different when viewing from various angles or under a different light. For example, certain parts of the painting might shine or sparkle under a different light. The image I present here is an unaltered scan of the artwork. This work is created during my 3rd #100daychallenge. You can learn more about this challenge on my Instagram.
