With the drawing awards looming, I spent the day preparing one piece for entry. I have connected a artist pen to a strip of copper wire, and nailed it to the wall. I bought a fan which I have secured to the wall beneath the pen. I propose to let the fan blow the copper strip, with the pen on,to make marks, or a drawing  on paper.I had not considered that the 'swing' of the copper, would in fact be an arc type movement, so I am experimenting with card and paper, to see if I can duplicate the arc of the swing, in order for the piece to be effective.
