Typewriter artist to draw live pictures at Falmouth Library
An artist who uses a typewriter to make art will be doing live drawings at a Rathbone will draw pictures of people using what she calls her "time-travelling" writing device on 10 one will take about 10 minutes and people can walk away with a "piece of work that's about them", she event at Falmouth Library will run from 10:00 BST to 17:00. Rathbone said she started doing typewriter artwork about 22 years ago when she realised she could better express herself through art than words."When I had the typewriter in front of me I wanted to type but I didn't know what to say so I just started pressing."She explained that rather than seeing a row of letters, she saw a corner or a shape."That's when the characters started looking like shapes and textures to me," she said the typewriter "almost felt like a time-travelling device" and she loved using it to interact with the described how the typewriter takes people back, captures them in the present, and the experience "sticks in their heads later". "People can have a piece of work that's about them... the essence of them, sort of boiled down to minimal characters," she added.
