Deborah Harty and Phil Sawdon, Pivot, 2006 documents an act of drawing; drawing that is dynamic, physical and progressive. The process is expressed as mechanical, repetitive and methodical. The tone is robotic but reflective, darkly poetic and thought consuming. It communicates at a multi-sensory level, is over-stimulatiing, invasive and repetitive. The sound is descriptive of the action of drawing but is unpleasant and confusing. Dark crowded and chaotic feel of a horror movie.
