Installation: Built Drawings


Geometric sculptures built of graphite rods from mechanical pencils.
Read an Mint Style Studio’s interview with Peter Trevelyan.

Peter Trevelyan’s work explores drawing through three dimensional geometry An investigation of the role of drawing is at the heart of his work.  Trevelyan builds his geometric structures gradually with great patience and precision. He fuses the delicate pencil leads together into triangles which become the basic unit of the structure; the whole surface is made up of hundreds of triangles. Trevelyan describes his work as a "three-dimensional drawing."
“A drawing is a plan, a preliminary visualisation of something to be undertaken in the physical world. Drawing is an ancient technology, a system for postulating, organising and mapping information about the physical world and manipulating it in order to change or affect that world.”
