British artist Tim Knowles, uses the process of shipping to create drawings that embrace elements of chance and performance in their creation. Each work starts out as a blank page mounted in a box with a drawing device made from an acrylic wheel with a pen mounted in the center. The work is then sent through the postal system, where the pen tracks the movements encountered by the box over the course if its journey, each leaving its mark-from the hands of a delivery man to the cargo hold of a plain or the back of a truck.
The drawing is not considered complete until it arrives at its intended destination and is opened
