Things have been so busy in October and November that I’ve not even had to the time to mention the 2020 Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize exhibition, which is now open and touring the UK and which, I am thrilled and honoured to say ,includes a drawing from my MFA body of work: “Timelines” inspired by the disused railway to Amlwch on the island of Anglesey (Ynys Mon).

I’m honoured that my work has made it into the show alongside so many absolutely stunning examples of contemporary drawing from right across the UK and internationally. The photo shows me next to “Timelines” on the opening day of the show at the very wonderful Drawing Projects UK, in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, a mecca for contemporary drawing and practitioners and a place I firmly resolve to visit regularly from now on. The visit was a joy and an inspiration. It was so exciting to feel among my tribe and to meet Professor Anita Taylor, founder of Drawing Projects UK and leader of the TBWDP.
However, the Trowbridge iteration of the show has now closed and the exhibition has now moved to Scotland, opening on the 13 November and running right through to 19 December at the Cooper Gallery at the University of Dundee.
