Lesley Halliwell

I watched 'James May: My Sisters' Top Toys' on BBC2, where he looked at all the toys from his childhood found in his sisters toybox. One of which was the spirograph where he found it it hard to use without mistake but also mentioning the work of Lesley Halliwell who uses spirographs to create large colourful pieses with the small spirograph patterns. I thought this was an interesting way to use somthing as redundant as a childs toy to make the dynamic monochromatic ink drawings.
