Lesley Halliwell resurrects 70s children’s favorite the spirograph. The toy allows her to create dynamic monochromatic ink drawings within a fixed period of time.
Her graceful drawings are the result of endurance feats with rigid masochistic parameters; dazzling ripostes to senseless home work given by a lascivious art teacher. The critical mass of the colour field and time taken to complete a drawing is dictated by the amount of ink in her biro, while form is predominately the outcome of whatever Spirograph she uses.superficially, the drawings are much in the spirit of self-perpetuating postmodern process painting,yet they lack the slickness normally associated with such work.
