Windsor Castle foot-drawing

A fantastic experience creation a right and left foot-drawing of Windsor Castle at event organised by 'En Plein Air'. The drawing took nearly five hours with an incredibly difficult perspective and scale. I had to draw relatively fast to complete in one day. My activity caused quite a stir at the Castle and intrigued the tourists. I placed right and left foot prints on the drawing to embed dust from the pavement, signify the drawing process and give it anthropological substance. There was a street exhibition and prize giving at the end of the day's session.The drawing turned a few heads but no prizes to be had.

This drawing was created live over four days through August 2012 and is part of an ongoing series titled 'Limits'. begun in 2011 at the Folkestone Triennial Fringe Festival. The process was to stand on the paper and draw using both feet, overall the drawing took around 12 hours. The fun part was meeting the locals in the hustle and bustle of the market nearby and in some cases creating portraits of them as they looked down at the work. The work was video documented.
