Shorthand Pirate
« Shorthand Pirate » is an original work by Gabriel Lemaire Sicre, born of an industrial machine recovered in Graulhet, the former world capital of leather: Stenotype machine, dismantled, cleaned, painted, and returned to a second life in which it no longer serves, it signifies. Gabriel Lemaire Sicre is represented by ARTDELION, an art agency in Paris. This work is not for sale. A pirate who goes easy on nothing, least of all his thumbwheels.
