BOXCARSIX, "#theviewfromhere," 2018
The Summer Residency 2018 has provided BOXCARSIX the opportunity to work collaboratively in an open studio setting, to create an active and integrated contemporary drawing installation and exhibition.
Through research and process, the eight members of the Collective have explored ‘drawing as verb, drawing as noun’—a residency filled with ephemeral and concrete actions of transcription, representation and imagination. Their point of reference started with the view from the balcony and windows of the gallery. The installation will be a culmination of descriptive impressions and renderings, progressively layered with process oriented work, reflecting their individual perspectives and reflections of and from this viewpoint. The finished work will include plein air studies, tracings, projections, photography, paper cutting and illustration.
Artists: Mary Babineau, Celine Berry, Sarah Cowan, Joanne Hewko, Jessica Kuyper, Fern Long, Clare Thomas, Jenn Wilson
