This group exhibition examines the off-shoots and detritus left behind by the artist during the act of making their work. This left over from their activity is then foregrounded as the work for the exhibition at the expense of the actual finished art piece
Collateral Drawing East Anglia explores the relationship between finished works and the collateral drawing which fed into or resulted from their making in the work of sixteen artists with an East Anglian connection - Each artist was approached by the curators six months in advance and asked to retain the collateral elements of some new work by isolating or documenting elements of their working environment, as a means to record the artists’ subconscious actions around their day-to-day creativity. These elements were then carefully collated and presented alongside an artwork that the artist produced alongside them during this period.
My contribution involved supplying a household paint drip tray stained with paint and coloured floor varnishes which was combined (on the floor) with an unused, digital graphic stencil and a paint stick used for mixing.
