Jen Barber, Aaron Carter and Ben Shepperd turned West Space into a room-sized drawing.
Conflating individual techniques while using the space as a laboratory to investigate the Ways and Means of contemporary drawing practice. The drawing emanated from the architecture it inhabits and responded to the gestures of each collaborating artist’s marks.
West Space became both studio and artwork, and visitors to the space were able to look through and see the work evolve. The predominately unscripted image slowly revealed itself towards the end of the collaborative residency.
Jen Barber is an artist in Naarm/Melbourne.
