Ben
Cove
...is a London-based artist who has continued to explore his interest in the pantograph as a drawing instrument to produce a new series of studies for startrunning. His chosen tool has existed for centuries and can be used to copy, reduce or enlarge an original. Cove's interest in pantographic drawing stems from its function as an imprecise way of reproduction. When tracing, the second image produced is a record of Cove's movements and consequently his errors.
