Sweeping Pendulum I is part of the Pendulum Brush series, where painting is produced through a gravity-driven mechanism rather than direct execution. Positioned between fragmented hands, the pendulum brush becomes an active participant in image-making, examining the shifting boundary between gesture, control and mechanical action. Sweeping Pendulum II is gravity-driven pendulum intersects a fragmented portrait constructed from printed matter, introducing mechanical action into the image. The work explores the point at which representation becomes unstable and gesture is shared with a system
