Machine

Machine is my first mechanical improvisation drawing. The center, upper right and lower left panels resemble patterns from speaker systems. The center contains reels, rotating wheels and idlers. In the opposing corners are various random mechanical assemblies: motors, flywheels, gears and spindles. Some of the shaded areas in the center structure were drawn with 6x0 Rapidograph pens. These were very troublesome  to use and impossible to keep clean after use, so I stopped using the 6x0 pens and have used 3x0 since.
