THE PROCESS
Commissioned as part of ART COLLECTIVE: From the One to the Many at Saatchi Gallery during the London Design Festival.
Drawing on the Surrealist tradition of the exquisite corpse, we created a series of life-sized collaborative drawings — each over six feet tall — that explored shared authorship, chance, and the unconscious. Working without full knowledge of what others were drawing, the process embraced intuitive mark-making, fragmentation, and play.
My contribution responded to themes of memory, embodiment, and absence, using layered materials and gestural line to explore the tension between control and surrender in collective practice.
Curated by Nelson Qin and Joe Richards, the exhibition questioned the boundaries between individual and group identity.
