Thinking Graphite Exhibition at Drawing Projects UK, Trowbridge – 12 December 2019 – 1 February 2020

Thinking Graphite showcases the work of seven artists who spent time together on a residency at The Viarco Pencil Factory in Portugal in the summer of 2019. Drawing Projects UK based in Trowbridge, run by Anita Taylor and Gary Sangster, have hosted the exhibition over December 2019 and January 2020. Our thanks go to them for their great support.

To follow is a selection of the work produced for the show. The body of the work I produced on this residency can be found on a seperate write up under The Viarco Pencil Factory residency.
