Abstract Space is a solo exhibition that explores the power of drawing as a meditative and immersive practice. Composed of intricate white line work on deep black paper, these works transform the act of mark-making into a journey through abstract, introspective landscapes. The drawings, formed by assembling multiple A3 sheets into large-scale compositions, create portals into imagined realms - windows that invite contemplation and self-reflection.

Additionally, a live drawing performance at the exhibition opening will integrate the drawing marks with sound and movement, allowing the audience to engage directly with the artistic process.

The exhibition is demonstrating how line, repetition, and abstraction can create deeply immersive experiences that transcend traditional notions of drawing. These impressive works provide an opportunity to momentarily step away from external noise and reconnect with inner landscapes. Through its dynamic installation, modular adaptability, and performative elements, Abstract Space offers a compelling and timely exploration of drawing as both an artistic and meditative practice.

This is a Draw to Perform project, presented in collaboration with Lewisham Arthouse.
