11th-14th August: Week 5 of The Drawing Shed
Emily Speed will create a cyclic drawing on the exterior of the shed over 4 days. Starting with proposals/sketches for structures - reminiscent of bulidings - which are prevalent in her work, Speed will then explore the physical impossibilities of these structures and the drawing will change to show construction, collapse and repair before perhaps collapsing again.
Speed’s work is about aspects of shelter and the vulnerability and temporary nature of things. She often uses architectural forms in her work and is interested in the way that architecture can act as a metaphor for our internal selves (the body as a building that houses the mind) and with the enduring sense of memory and/or personal identity that is often embedded in or linked with particular sites. Her work incorporates discarded items, shifting scale and a precariousness.
