First ever Admitting the Possibilities of Error drawing 2010

When I’m 64 … ~ in progress

 2025 marks two anniversaries for me: Ten years ago I made the largest ‘Admitting the Possibilities of Error’ drawing I have ever made at Performance Arcade in Wellington, New Zealand. The pens and pencils that I used were given (or loaned) to me by passers-by who were drawn in to engage.

It was my 64th birthday on February 1st 2025.

With a nod to the Beatles song ‘When I’m 64’, I am celebrating by creating a new large drawing using 64 pens or pencils that have been gifted to me. The drawing will  be exhibited as part of my solo exhibition at the Alison Richards Building in Cambridge (April - July) and then will be divided into 64 slices* which I will gift to each my donors in grateful reciprocity.

*The first ever Admitting the Possibilities of Error drawing was made using blue biro on a pizza base
