This reproduction of a drawing by Pieter Oyens, made by Léon Evely, presents the interior of a wool factory. It is made with lines of ink on paper. The use of ink allows for meticulous detail, capturing the texture of the machinery and the fabric being produced. The cross-hatching technique defines the forms and figures within the space, the heavy industrial equipment, and the workers themselves. This approach, reminiscent of printmaking, connects the artwork to wider social issues of labor, politics, and consumption. The artist draws our attention to the work involved in the production process. This image challenges the traditional distinctions between fine art and craft by focusing on the materiality and making of wool production within the context of a factory setting.
