Primarily architects, Annie Han and Dan Mihalyo, make up the collaborative to make Lead Pencil Studio. This is their sort of "artist persona" to their mathematical and very organizational tendencies of their architecture training. They have been working on architecture since the early 90s but have been doing their side projects in art since the mid 90s. They talked about their process a lot and even from that everything has a purpose and is deliberately planned, which is interesting to see. They really got into billboards and different kinds all over the country, particularly in the west. The piece to the right is one example of a sort of interpretation they had on a billboard and it is located at the border of the US and I think, Canada. They do this amazing designing that even though is so technical is so beautiful. The stainless steel wire pieces look so easily manipulated and yet when they talk of the process of how it took 8 months to build with 4 people working on it, clearly it wasn't that easy. They talked of more works to come with their scientific and mathematical approach which is awesome to see art thrown into that mix.
