Third in residence, following Simon and Sean, taking up dwelling in these studios which seemed big when I visited them mid-build, unclad in a warehouse in Andover. Now sitting inside looking out, they’ve shrunk to fit.

SR: The colour white

February 27, 2015

I have been wanting to experiment with chalk drawing for some time, so sitting here in the Observatory on the South Downs seems like a good time to start. Drawing with white on black can, at first, appear as if you are not drawing with colour; instead two polar opposit...
