Oxo Tower, London November 2015

Three day drawing as part of the We All Draw Symposium hosted by Drawing and Cognition. Thank you to everyone who played the "transform your mistake" game especially those who also gave me their line to follow  

I was invited by Elspeth Owen to create 13 drawings using 13 shades of blue (caran d’ache supracolour chosen by Elspeth) in honour of the Blue Moon of July 2015 for the closing event of her year long performance as Material Woman entitled ‘On the Off Chance’.

Over two weekends I drew under the sheltering branches of a laden walnut tree,  sometimes serenaded by a nightingale, chatting with visitors and inviting them to contribute to a collaborative drawing.

A Blue Moon occurs when there are two full moons in the same calendar month.

Admitting the Possibilities of Error in Wellington, 57 hours drawing using pens and pencils donated by businesses and individuals many of whom transformed a remembered (positive) mistake into food, transport, clothing, plants, animals, or colours

I started this sketchbook in February, since then it has been responded to by 4 other members of my Drawing Circle group. These are the pages before it begins another circuit of creative responses. 

Thank you Karen, Paul, Andrea and Lucy.
