About

Architecture school will teach you to always draft a section.

"Always Draft a Section: Envisioning with the mind" is a collection of 15 drawings + part II of a 2-part project. Part I, "Abstracting Architecture: Engaging with the hand" (completed in 2014) is a 15-piece series of abstract acrylic works created solely with the hand.

Part I (2014) and part II (2019) work in tandem to question the use, and frequent underuse, of the hands in contemporary design.

Both bodies of work will be on display, in addition to hand-bound books featuring the collection in its entirety, at this long awaited exhibition!

Reception with artist in attendance: Thursday, September 12th, 7-9pm. Exhibition up Sept 3-30.
