USE artist Helen Bird will lead this workshop responding to her artwork Trace Series 3. This artwork includes a video projection of human hands interacting with a drawing machine, controlling (or not) the small hand-built drawing machine containing ink. Participants will respond by creating moving drawing devices from recycled and found materials. This workshop will involve mark-making and the re-purposing of everyday materials to create intriguing new objects.
