Barograph Chart Art
Repurposing vintage barograph instruments to create continuous-line weather drawings. The mechanical pen traces atmospheric pressure changes over a week onto paper drums, producing abstract mountainscapes and valley forms. Combines clockwork mechanism maintenance with weather observation and an appreciation for the accidental beauty of data-as-drawing.
