Mechanical Fancies

9 years ago I made a small series of work using cogs, clocks and locks. I was prompted to revisit this theme and made these mixed media (watercolour, pen, pencil and collage) pieces on paper. It is so interesting to see how my style and technique have evolved in that time. When I was making these works a piece of music came on the radio called Mechanical Fancy. I thought this was the perfect title for these – Mechanical Fancy 1, 2 and 3.

I have since tried to find this piece of music and I can’t, so I think it likely that my mind just heard what it wanted it to!
