Here’s a piece I finished earlier this month for the exhibition I’m currently in at The Brunswick in Swansea. It’s a combination of a solvent transfer print overlaid with a drawing that started life in one of my sketchbooks. I went to an avant garde theatrical piece by Marega Palser, who also does performance drawing, and sketched this when she sat out for a while as other dancers performed. She wore strange, oversized hairy slippers. The image in the background is a piece of graffiti on a very old factory building, part of Swansea’s Industrial Revolution past. The exhibition runs until next March.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

I also love the way the slippers and hair align – and I like how the cooled hair – and stands flow off the page – while the softness of the figure contrasts nicely with the strong, geo metrics in the background – and lastly, enjoyed the colors too – that soft blue – and more pastel tones – and I had the chance to peek at handful of your pics – but this is certainly my favorite of them all. wish I could attend the exhibition.
Thank you 😀
That’s adorable! I love how the socks complement her hair, while the lose top offers kind of an contrast to both. Lovely 🙂
Thank you:)

Love this piece-I’m very into repurposing and combining prints/techniques these days. What a rich example!
Really love this piece. The combination of media is right on!
Thanks, I’m going to explore it more in the new year
Great piece 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Welcome!
This is a lovely piece. What does performance drawing mean?
Drawing in public for a set time, often accompanied by a performance – music, poetry, drama, dance. Getting very popular here.
Lovely combination! Beautiful piece!
Thank you 🙂
