Equations: Marcel Duchamp, Marchant du sel

I quite like the idea of an equation, because it doesn't point only to art or to science, but has that universal kind of feel for any aspect of life. Artist is of course an equation with his art, meaning that an artist is not balanced if she does not create. But so is everybody else - any person finds its own approach, their own process  that balances things out, to get to that cosmic equation that is so much spoken of in Nature and in human mind, and in relation of the two.

Equation, in turn, is a mathematical concept which lends itself quite logically to visual representation. This is a thing to think about, but here's a quick sketch made the other day of some kind of logical construction found in real life:

Basically, two dudes covering the roof of a building - one below, another on the top. The circular motion of the bucket connects the two, and so does their own co-motions. The lower man goes to the car on our right to fill the bucket, the top man goes to the left out of the picture to do the roof work. Then the process repeats.

Movement tracking on St Pancras station

Movement tracking St Pancras 1, 2 and 3, pencil, 2014Drawings were done standing opposite the exit from the trains on St. Pancras station.

In this experiment I wanted to trace the movement of people coming towards me:

The idea for two following ones was to represent the shape of a moving crowd, to further investigate its visual impact:

Trip to Corfe Castle (last summer)

Just found some more sketches from our cycle trip to Corfe Castle last summer. As I tend to sketch n many sketchbooks at once, sometimes it's hard to synchronize stuff, as smaller ones run out quicker... Here they are anyways!

Boats in Bournemouth

This is also the one I did during Corfe Castle trip - a wonderful seaside. As always, while everyone went swimming, I decided to stay ashore and draw... Scan 8
