since graphite conducts. if spiral shape is drawn with pencil on the wall (thick , dark lines)
will a voltage difference appear between inner and outer end of the spiral when a varying magnetic field is switched on, normal to wall
my aim is to incorporate this into new mode of wireless data transmission

While this sounds theoretically possible, I would have a hard time imagining the pencil line as a reliable electrical conductor.

Do some experiments with a pencil line- see if you can get a reliable and stable resistance reading on a multimeter.
How would you make the final connection to this pencil line?

With proper continuity, the spiral should pick electromagnetic waves and produce a signal at its ends. A wired similar but for transmitting is used in concert halls, theatres ceilings or floors to feed second program/translated audio to hearing impaired or dedicated receivers among the public.
It transmits by feeding plain audio onto the winding, no RF carrier and it is called "audio induction loop". I installed one on the floor of a 400 seat theatre loooong ago.
