Euston station experiment: a study in motion

A series of drawings and animated studies of people moving through Euston station.

Euston Station Experiment, pencil and graphite powder, 2012

In this drawing I wanted to study the space of a busy station hall through human motion. In order to access this motion, I reversed the usual process and began from moving parts, drawing the lines that would follow wherever the people would go. Once the network of human tracks was established, I finished up the rest of environment as a usual observation.

It was interesting to see in the end that those people who stood still somehow knew where the 'islands of stillness' were between the motion tracks, and gathered on those.
