A series of mixed-media drawing 'experiments' of various aspects of Savile Row upon first visit. The motivation was to implicate the drawing as a 'surface' in itself, intimating a materiality- so the drawing, potentially, begins to resonate on levels beyond representation. The 'grungy' (for want of a better word) patina is at odds with the perceived sartorial elegance of the row.
A contrast of the visceral and the sartorial.
Contextually, the drawings deal with spaces below street level- the workshop spaces, whose sewing-bench aesthetic contrasts with the opulence of the Savile Row showroom.
The drawings initiate a number of techniques, whose potential I seek to explore in further iterations and develope a unique representational tactic.
