This sketch shows two circles with lines radiating out from the center, like wheels with spokes. Around them are numbers—92, 74, 5, 138, 44—and some small shapes, like circles and squiggles, scattered on the sides. The whole thing is drawn in black ink on light paper, with a border that looks like a rough frame. The numbers might be measurements or just random jottings—Paolozzi often mixed math and art. The lines and shapes feel loose, like they were drawn quickly. Want to see more of Paolozzi’s work? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
