Blackburn Town Exhibition attempt

I recently put my drawings up in an empty shop our course rented. They came together in the space really well. I put them up in manor of David Shrigley's "How are you feeling?" Exhibition I went to see in Manchester.




Putting drawings/photographs together creates different meanings than when they're alone. The mixture of original, printed unedited scanned, automatic and more intentional drawings came to great effect.

I had a critique with a visiting lecturer from Chelsea, Sean Dower. We discussed automaticism, what worked, what didn't. Artists suggested included André Masson and Austin Osman. I've decided that original drawings and scans mixed together were enough. No changes of colour in the future, no changes in quality of paper. Ill stick to black and white for now I think, pen on high quality paper. I'm thinking of putting up scans of the same image on the same wall.
