"Lesley Halliwell is perhaps best known for her enormous Spirograph drawings made using a simple and cheap childs Spirograph kit and biro pens from a high street stationers. She is interested in repetition, pattern, geometry, popular culture, process art and the enduring tension that lies between chaos and control.
The Alice-in-Wonderland scale transforms the Spirograph motif from something familiar into works with a contemporary sensibility. Like sophisticated graffiti the Mandala-like tonal drawings impose themselves on the viewer and in the space while their playfulness belies the obsessive and focused application needed for their execution."

I came across her work in the Oriel Davies Exhibition Lines of Desire but am fascinated by the simple yet effective use of envelopes.
