TALK DESCRIPTION
The impulse to collect and work with found objects links these diverse approaches to image-making. Alastair will examine how drawing connects with this drive to archive the everyday. He will discuss how drawing can be both a form of ‘exercise’ in its own right, seeking no preconceived outcome, as well as a means to realising more structured, finished artworks. What is the relationship between these two very different kinds of activity and how do they inform each other?
Guest Series Format: We will be joined by guests from different fields: art, ethnobotany, anatomy, and photography each of whom is committed to drawing. The format for the Guest Series will be for each guest to give a talk about how drawing relates to their own work and field, then at a later date they will lead a day long drawing workshop based on their practice.
