The day after our epic all-nighter, editioning 12 drypoint plates between three artists, Zaira Ahmad Zaka, Hannah F Lawson and myself. Here’s the studio afterwards – trashed. We have a big clear up job ahead. But first, setting up the exhibition at the Satrang Gallery in Islamabad.
After a shower, we went over to the gallery to chat to the lovely staff about placing our work. Here’s Hannah contemplating.
Then a spot of tea in the tearoom next to the gallery. Don’t mind if we do, we’re British y’know.
And checking out the exhibition blurb on a marble pillar.
Kara Seaman’s work, waiting for the arrival of Mister Pink.
Afterwards, we went to an exhibition of mixed media work by Behishte Gumshuda at the Khass Gallery where we met an eclectic group of interesting people who made us forget our exhaustion. The show is quiet and contemplative and I particularly liked the multi-layered works in graphite, but then I would, I’m a scribbler. Talking of scribbling, here’s a quick scribble I managed to fit in at Khaas. Oh and they served the most delicious samosas I have ever tasted. 😀
