an archaeology of device II - Lloyd Godman

Work tools, simple forms: spears, adze heads, patu (clubs), fish hooks, clamps, saws, planes, hammers, trowels, pliers, snippers, spanners, shapes that are ordained, predestined by function, profiles with their own poetry, silhouettes that imply a use and purpose, imply an age of usage, imply a context. Lines that curve, bend and draw in a manner that denote a specific object. Sketches cut into a black ground, vignetted, practical shapes that speak of invented devices to affect change in a shorter space of time, more efficiently, on a gigantic scale or to effect change that could happen only with the use of the device.
