Hébert created his first algorithmic work of art in 1974 and acquired his first pen plotter in 1978. He composes the code, or algorithm, for each drawing. He considers the computer to be a tool that enables him to focus on drawing as a conceptual activity.
The delicacy of this computer-generated drawing demonstrates the surprisingly subtle effects that can be achieved with a pen plotter. Looking rather like a sheet of fine fabric or lace, its ethereal appearance is typical of Hébert's distinctive style.
