Drawing is a major part of my arts practice and participating in the 'Big Draw' national campaign for drawing has been rewarding. The video shows my first Big Draw public engagement drawing, portraits of Picasso with feet and elbows on a cool, blustery day! Many children engaged enthusiastically with the activity, drawing with left and right hands and feet.
I have been commissioned on the following Big Draw events by Client Lichfield District Council :
- Foot-drawing work 'Limits' (2014) and activity 'NOKYORSOXOFF' at Three Spires Shopping Centre, Lichfield. and foot-drawing workshops at Gentleshaw Primary School, Lichfield
-Drawing on trains (2007) Chasewater Railways Stafford; and workshops at Highfields Primary School, Burntwood
-Drawing portraits of Picasso with elbows and feet at Three Spire Shopping Centre, Lichfield (2005)
The public engagement involved working in town centres and recreational spaces as well as in schools, inspiring children and people of all ages to participate and draw in various ways with their limbs.
