Lesley Halliwell Close Up

I mentioned a while back that I was going to post some of Lesley halliwells work up, so here it is. Some of her work consists of producing mass, ambitious drawings using a Spirograph. It's repetitive motion and overlaying reminded me of my own work. 


'Lesley Halliwell…. use(s) these children’s toys in an intense and serious way, working within the limits imposed by the tools but demonstrating that, in spite of the mechanics of process, there is still room for the unexpected – the random mark that hints at the (human) hand behind the controls'.
