Residency

This residency project aimed test the build and test the capabilities of a second prototype of a drawing instrument,, which utilised the gallery space and could be tested with a variety of materials. This prototype was the first built with a looped set-up, allowing the artist to work continuously, layering marks on the paper. The gallery space was then curated throughout the residency period as drawings were simultaneously produced, considered and displayed.
