Writing for Common Thread at Trowbridge Arts
​by Michele Whiting

“…’Beneath the Seven Sisters’ – The title grounds the work in reality, however, the lines and marks of the drawing encode shapes into the mind’s eye. Serrations, inscribing, drawing over and over, varied pressure causing tonal shifts, all play with our thoughts about time within the overall space of the drawing. We can’t ‘see’ a literal place but we can feel its edges, depths, its hesitancy. We can only guess at its meaning or the circumstance of its being; its context. Is it important to know? Maybe, as philosopher Michel Foucault wrote, it is more interesting to think about spaces of multiplicities, in other words spaces of many things: these ‘heterotopias’ indicate less obvious geographies (spaces) that lie between things, ‘counter-sites’, quietly subversive.”
