Drawings by Samantha Clark

9th - 20th September 2023

The drawings exhibited were the result of a slow and meditative practice, a patient accretion of simple marks that produced intricate forms resembling sea foam, cloud forms or wave patterns.  Samantha uses reflective and iridescent media such as silver leaf and chrome ink in combination with acrylic and gouache to build up surfaces that change, as water does, with each shift of light and angle of view.

She was present in the gallery throughout the exhibition and visitors joined her in making a large-scale drawing, formed from thousands of tiny white circles that flowed together on a roll of black paper.
