This season continues to celebrate the 200 year old Automaton, known as the Draughtsman-Writer. A porcelain faced mechanical doll who was built by Henri Maillardet (a Swiss mechanician) to store motion data, enabling him to write poems and draw pictures with fluid like movements.
//
Timeless tailoring with juxtapositions of hard and soft lines – fabric flows like ink layered with mechanical beauty. Imitating life by mechanical means, and the overlapping of art and science.
//
Liquid colours of Black, White, Lead, Ink, Zest, Silver, Chalk, Tin
