Cameron Robbins - 'wind drawings'
"The Wind Drawing Machines are installed in different locations to receive weather energy and translate it into an abstract format of ink drawings on paper.... The machines respond to wind speed and wind direction, and allow rain and sun to also play on the drawings. The principle employed here is that the wind direction orients a swivelling drawing board connected to a wind vane, while the wind speed drives a pen on a wire arm around in a cyclical motion.
While it is a mechanical thing with axles, bearings, and pulley wheels, it also has inbuilt flexibility which allows it to respond to subtle and chaotic dynamics and to stray from any predetermined path."
The over all effect of these are striking, I particularity like how they are created because is brings to mind renewable energy.

Christoph Niemann and Nicholas Blechman
"Illustrator Christoph Niemann and creative director of The New Yorker Nicholas Blechman have published Conversations, a six-month project which saw the two creatives exchange drawings and photographs via their smart phones. The only rules for the project were that Nicholas used black ink and Christoph used blue, and the conversation had to be non-verbal."

Louise Bourgeois
‘Drawings have a feather like quality. Sometimes you think of something and it is so light, so slight, that you don’t have time to make a note in your diary. Everything is fleeting, but your drawing will serve as a reminder; otherwise it is forgotten.’
There is something relatable about her concept, and I find the studies visually pleasing.

Isabelle Arsenault – 'Cloth Lullaby'
Kate pugsley
Here simple colours, water colour textures and her use of animation all caught my attention.
Sophie Calle - 'Suite Venitienne' (1979)
The concept of secretly following and photographing a person as they relocated their life is not something that could be legally achieved today but means she created a wonderful set of images that appeal to me aesthetically.
