Very pleased my drawing ‘Recurrence’ has been shortlisted for the Derwent Art Prize 2020. Thank you to the judges Charles Avery, Victoria Pomery and Alice Rawsthorn and to Parker Harris for putting together a virtual show during lockdown.

‘Recurrence’ was made close to the Thames Barrier at Angerstein Wharf (before lockdown!) where ships repeatedly unload aggregate when tide allows. Drawn over several weeks it became a multi-layered trace of many moments in time.
