Scribble to the Count of 5

By Jill Townsley 2009

Dimensions
Dimensions variable

This work is a video installation consisting of five videos all playing at the same time. Each video shows the development of a different drawing. Each drawing was made by scribbling for a count of five, then scanning the image. This was done 500 times until the whole area, a square 16cm square was black with ink. The images were animated together to make a video. Each video drawing, though working to the same principle develops individually.
