This drawing is a collaboration of sorts. Our elder two daughters were arguing about the ownership of two tiny plastic dogs. The dogs had, in fact, been stolen from school, although neither girl remembered this. Partly to resolve the ownership issue, we made drawings of the dogs. They each then added marks to the drawings we’d given them. This is the drawing which our elder daughter added to.
Lawrence Bradby works as half of the collaborative practice Townley and Bradby. Townley and Bradby make work in spaces that are already being used by someone else. These works have included games, picnics, public conversations, site-specific drawings, durational street sweeping events and cycle-powered film screenings. Townley and Bradby are currently researching how to sustain an artistic practice whilst earning a living and raising a family.
