Mixed media sculpture on custom coachwood stand. 38.5 x 31 x 9 cm

Bit and brace loaded with a sharpened out-size pencil – a fundamental art making instrument. In action its circular motion makes a continuous mark in the same spot. This ‘dot’ is the most economic of drawing marks and is also the shortest line.

Playfully it resembles a boys own gun emplacement.
