Thomas Forsyth’s Drawing Tops.

Love the idea behind this project – it reminds me of my childhood. With a much more aesthetic end result!

A spinning-top, that uses a pen as the spindle, represents many of the core ideas behind my current work. It is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property. Simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. Where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced. I am able to draw, but I am not particularly talented at it and yet found that, through the interaction with these objects, I have created drawings that I am more proud of than any I have done before.

And now you can buy your own Drawing Top at Thomas Forsyth’s etsy shop! Get spinning.
