Glyph tablet I

£160.00

Pigment inks and metallic inks on printmaking paper 300 gsm smooth. Image 29.7 cm x 42.0 cm, unframed. This is an original drawing made using an AxiDraw V3/A3 plotter, a drawing robot - mine’s called Fuzz-3PO (Human/Plotter relations).

This design was formed by experimenting with a 3x3 grid, removing parts until the glyphs that are produced disappear entirely. It was inspired by cuneiform tablets, (clay slabs carrying the oldest known written word) and is a playful interpretation of a future machine language.

Open edition pen plot (an open edition means that while you’re plot is unique because of the making process, other people can order the same design at a later date). Each plot is hand signed and numbered. Plots are made to order, so if you’re ordering for a specific date please leave time to make and dispatch the drawing!

Drawing using a plotter produces technically precise images which retain the analogue elements of drawing, the interaction between ink and surface, and combine them with the unique characteristics and quirks of the drawing machine. I enjoy the ordered process of drawing and planning a plot in combination with the small elements of chaos in its execution - some of my favourite areas of the drawings are often the areas of slight overlap or an unexpected combination of inks producing new colour. Plots of the same pattern will vary slightly as a result of the process.

Caring for your drawing:

Where possible I make use of lightfast and archival inks on acid free paper. Inks can still fade or change colour over time if they are exposed to strong UV light so I recommend hanging your drawing somewhere that is not in direct sunlight and when framing the drawing to use UV filtered glass.
