Records of matter in motion and responses to changing material states are explored in this exhibition which discusses drawing and mark making through an examination of the practice of three contemporary artists; Simon Finn, Ruth Simons and Jayne Wilton.
In Surge, the concept of ‘the line’ and the dominant place that drawing holds in each selected artist’s practice will be discussed through considering the impact of drawing in the process of making digital, photographic and sculptural work, whilst acknowledging the potency of the unique and fragile hand drawn mark on paper.
The use of traditional drawing techniques and materials will be contrasted with processes which animate drawings, document drawing, or become three-dimensional drawings.
