Here is a short extract from Wednesday evening’s presentation in the window room by Mark Dixon, starring Anne Mie (who was very brave to volunteer). Luckily for the likes of me, who couldn’t make it along, David caught the moment on his mobile phone.

It would be good to see some comments from those who were there and add some context to this intriguing film. Over to you all….

  

I approached Mark Dixon to make some work for the window room. We decided to experiment using his (static electricity?) machine to make a simple a straight line drawing . However, due to the nature of the machine it creates a series of extraordinary marks on the surface of the wall.  They are created from a piece of wire dipped in ink. The wire does not make direct contact with the wall at any point. (I will save the true technical description/explanation for Mark).

The overall effect is interesting but it is when you get up close to the wall and see the minute detail that the drawing is most intriguing.

When people know how the drawing was created they seem to derive more interest from the work.
