Portsoy

Exhibited at Galerie Data, Paris. Custom software, drawing robot, blue and black ballpoint pen on yupo paper. 30 x 42cm unframed. Limited edition of 5. Each piece is a unique original drawing, not a print. It was drawn by a plotting robot over 2 days with 8 layers of ballpoint pen ink. The drawing is created from a field recording of the waves at Portsoy harbour on the Moray coast in Scotland, captured in September 2020. The sound of the waves distorts the lines drawn by the pen giving a pattern unique to the time and place of the audio recording.

For each drawing sold, I will donate £5 to Trees for Life, to offset carbon and support the rewilding of the Scottish Highlands.

A note on care of the drawings: where possible I use ink that is certified for archival purposes, however even these inks can fade or change colour when exposed to UV light. I recommend avoiding hanging original drawings in direct sunlight, and using UV filtering glass when framing if possible.
