What if I …? at Kaleidoscope Gallery, Sevenoaks, Kent, September 2023

What if I …

… did an MA in drawing?

… met some like-minded artists all addicted to drawing?

… formed a group?

… started collaborating; walking to draw?

… visited museums and galleries with them?

… joined residency programmes here and in Europe as a group?

… exhibited in group shows?

The theme for this show is the collective HB Drawing and how we have supported each other and developed over the years since graduating from the MA Drawing programme at Wimbledon College of Art.

We believe that working together provides us with new experiences, new insights, continued learning and, of course, fun! This all feeds into our individual practices, but not necessarily in a straight line.

This exhibition aims to show what is often invisible: how one thing leads to another; how an idea that occurs to us in one context eventually pops up in our work; how sometimes we only realise how an idea percolated through when we look back at our work.
