This May, we are proud to present a solo exhibition by Paul Rickards, an artist and engineer who brings vintage pen plotters back to life. Using custom Python code and decades-old machines, Rickards creates algorithmic drawings that blend mechanical precision with the unpredictable beauty of ink on paper.
