I mentioned in my post about The Drawing factory that me and a friend were hoping to do a similar activity where we each produced a piece of half finished art work and then post it the 403 miles from Glasgow to London so that the other person can finish it off.

Well, we are a couple of months in to our exercise and I wanted to show you what myself and Helen Shaddock have been up to.

The 2 images above are the first compete pieces we produced collaboratively. I received the 1st piece from Helen in March this year. It came to me as a lovely Indian ink drawing which also included collage. I then added the crazy cuts outs and the pencil/pen marks to create texture.

The second image is the one that I worked on initially. I used collage taken from magazines to create the repeated triangle shapes found in the work. Helen then painted the background a mid tone grey and added white lines.

Keep a look out over the coming months to see what else we come up with. The image below is my next piece from Helen that I will be working on. It’s exciting times!
