Cameron Robbins, LSDM: Lunar / Solar Drawing Machine || e-invite and newsletter
Would Cameron Robbins please make up his mind? He has been described as an artist / scientist / engineer / inventor / musician / alchemist. His special interests concern natural phenomena and the way they are documented, or, perhaps more accurately, ways they can illustrate themselves.
From invisible to visible: over the next month a newly installed solar panel on the roof of the gallery will feed Robbins’ Lunar/Solar Drawing Machine, transcribing the sun’s energy.
