Spirograph

I went to an art exhibition at BlocSpace yesterday which featured three gigantic works constructed using spirograph sets. The artist, Lesley Halliwell, gave a talk about how she started using spirograph and described her processes: it was all really interesting. It turned out that the multi-coloured pieces on show were the culmination of five years of producing giant works with spirograph sets, and previous pieces were monchrome and arranged entirely differently. Because of the limitations of using Spirograph though (as in, you can only really produce a circular motif and repeat it), you could see how her ideas and processes progressed as though in a timeline. The artist was very approachable and interested too, which I always makes me feel positive.
