I was in Birmingham today collecting paintings from the R.B.S.A. but I also wanted to visit the Ikon Gallery and by chance the exhibition there was of work by Len Lye, an artist who liked motion, with many films being brightly coloured and set to bouncy music. I was short of time but I did a quick scribble there with felt tips on some 16mm film; the same technique that Len used for many of his films.
