Recent drawings on quilted paper

Recent Drawings on Quilted Paper showcases 11 lively and intimate charcoal and ink drawings on antique papers stitched together by the Sulman Prize-winning artist. 
 
“I found a stack of antique paper in a secondhand store in Daylesford,” says Spain. “It came wrapped in old string, had a lovely patina to it, and felt like it carried history.” 
 
Having recently returned from her grandmother’s funeral in the UK, where the artist was born, Spain was in possession of her sewing kit. 
 
Displayed like tapestries, the stitched drawings move ever so slightly when someone passes them, accentuating their textured surfaces.
 
“I draw all the time, but this is the first time I’ve exhibited my drawings,” says Spain. “So this is an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and try something different.”
