Blackford Hill Antenna

Custom software, drawing robot, graphite on Yupo paper. 30 x 42cm unframed. Edition of one - this is a unique original drawing, not a print.

This drawing was created using graphite pencil and robot based on a photograph of the radio antenna on Blackford Hill in Edinburgh. The drawing is drawn using four layers of graphite by carefully manipulating the weight and hardness of the pencil over time. It took two days to draw and is made up of about half a million lines.

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 drawing. This drawing is made using graphite pencil on extremely smooth paper, for a very delicate texture and rich tones that are hard to capture on camera! However, this means it will smudge easily if touched. I will post the drawing covered with tissue paper, but you should take care when framing the drawing not to touch the surface.
