“Drawn Works” brings together the drawings of 8 Backwater Artists Members working in a variety of mediums with a range of mark making processes and materials. Drawing often inhabits a liminal space between different aspects of an arts practice. While often functioning in a practical preparatory fashion it can also be quite intimate and personal. Consequently artists tend to have bodies of work that are generally not considered when exhibiting and might never have been seen by anyone at all before. This exhibition seeks to shine a light on these often unseen strands of an
arts practice and the diverse ways of approaching what actually constitutes a drawing as well as the end purposes in making them.
