My sculptural drawing, Doodle 3, is on display as part of 'Hanging together' at the Centre for Recent Drawing. Curated by Janette Parris, LMU fine art students share the walls and floors with drawing students from Camberwell, with interesting takes on the question, 'What is a drawing?'.
As I view the surrounding drawings, I recognise the work of fellow Morley foundation student Fungai Benhari. His style takes me back to my primary school days when I used crayon to cover a piece of paper with random splotches of colour, paint over it in black poster paint, wait for it to dry, then scrape a drawing to reveal the colours underneath. Unlike my arbitrary colouring, Fungai makes considered decisions about how he wants his colours to appear and uses small implements, usually cocktail sticks, to inscribe tiny marks that result in an intricate and complex image.
