Drawing laboratory with time-lapse photography of drawing evolution¶

Element · All elements
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

A purpose-built laboratory for collecting in-process records of drawing: a neutral white room with a fixed tilt-top drawing board, a front-surface mirror, and a camera outside the studio area. The report states that "Parallel with this is a small window in the wall, through which a camera records by means of time-lapse photography the evolution of each drawing." Artists work on 12"x18" white pads in black and white media, with materials adjusted to artist requests in a nurturant environment.
