Charles Long

Charles Long is best known for his whimsical, conceptually based sculptural works, and here he and his collaborator, Ana Wolovick, push the notion of digital media in relation to form and content. Long began with several simple line drawings, essentially outlines of potential three-dimensional forms, on legal paper. Working with a rendering program and following a list of conceptual parameters, Wolovick then developed Long’s drawings into mutations of gestural line and form, retaining elemental aspects of their two-dimensional origins while bringing them to life as animated renditions of themselves.
