After creating the pen and string drawing, I became interested in making work where I don't have full control of the process and outcome of the work. I found a small piece of wood in a circular shape with a hole in the centre. I came up with the idea to make a spinning top from this piece of wood by attaching a pen to the centre. I was impressed with the outcome and how this simple object created such interesting works.
This is the spinning top I made using the wood and a small sharpie.
These are some of the outcomes of the spinning top drawings. The spinning top itself reminds me of a tornado and how it can spin out of control, some of the patterns even look like tornado's Other marks have created swirling and flower-like patterns.
Love this.
