SLUG

SLUG is a drawing that I made in my residency at the Women’s Art Library (WAL), Goldsmiths, University of London as a result of an ‘Art in the Archive Bursary’, a collaboration between the Women’s Art Library and Feminist Review. The theme of the bursary was ‘A Slow Return’. The drawing is almost five metres long, made on tracing paper with marker pen and watercolour paint. Each slug contains or is made up of fragmented quotes from artists I came across in the Women’s Art Library, as well as my own reflections on time, work and art-making. I share some images from SLUG here (photographs by Jordan Taylor), along with a poetic and reflective text that I wrote and was read aloud at an event that also included an in-conversation with the artist and writer Abi Palmer, celebrating the results of the bursary.
