Recently I’ve been doing a lot of research for some paper sculptures that I am working on. While combing the wiles of the internet I came across Tony Orrico and have fallen madly for his work. He is a visual artist, performer, and choreographer that uses his body as tool to create large scale drawings. In some instances he moves like a human spirograph, working continuously for upwards of four hours to complete one work.

What fascinates me most about his process is his precision in movement and concentration. The surprise lies in pieces like Penwald: 9: lateral bends lost, where his movement, though symetrical, seems erratic and jerky. It isn’t until the work is complete that you can really marvel at his careful attention to detail.

Take a look at more of his videos here.
