I enter this exhibition. I can see a big white and bright room with a varierity of experimental drawings all framed. I'm quickly getting my sketchbook out of my handbag. This is good, this is important to your practice, you need to soak everything you can, I tell myself and move from one piece to another. The winner's drawing (in the image above) reminds a bit of some of my drawings and I forced myself to take my drawings more seriously. There are lot of collages, I have never thougth about a collage being a drawing! this is already worth being here. Drawings made of pencil, oils, pens, paper, cardboard, very fine cuts on a paper forming a pallet, hot drinks marks on a table of different sizes and tones, drawing on flesh and the carriageway edges on the road shown in a video loop, a composition of textiles...all of them talking the same languague, being purely experimental, re-inventing drawing.
