The Making & Unmaking exhibition was full of textile interest - I'd already been twice, and was intrigued by the Anya Gallacio's nets strung round the garden -
Their structure more complicated than an ordinary net - more like lace -This time I got excited about the glinting silvery snails trails -
But they led nowhere, in drawing terms. Instead, warm-up with a garden medley, enjoying the sunshine and shade -
In the exhibition, Rodney McMillian's Shirts 1-6 pretty much filled a wall - "recycled shirts, fabric, thread" - the added fabric making strange folds, leaving the shirts wearable, but would you? -
Mags had worked in her "exhibition sketchbook", to which she adds relevant photos and notes (her annotated view of the exhibition is here) -... and also in her general sketchbook -
Najlaa found, among other things, a carpet design from the 1920s -
Carol studied details of the knotting on a huge indigo ... what ... figure? suit of armour?
Jo found sculptures of interest in the garden -
Coincidence of the week -
Later, back home, I tried to colour-in my quick sketch of a fabulous huge painting by Marina Adams, but without the magenta - an unmixable colour - it didn't work. (I now have a tube of magenta on hand and will try again.) -The other sketches are of stuffed fabric pieces by Caroline Achaintre - "her work draws on Primitivism and Expressionism".
Your drawing Tuesday posts always fascinate me with the.variety of different articles the members of the group choose to draw. This one is especially varied - thank you for the pleasure.
