This ink drawing is part of the exhibition Who Blows The Horn? featuring London-based artist Phoebe Collings-James, on view December 7, 2021 — February 1, 2022. Her work spans various mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, sound, video, and performance.
The works in the show are a meditation on the rhythms of drawing, revealing itself in gouges, ink scrawls, and pooling glazes, across two materially distinct but overlapping aspects of the artist’s practice.
Derived from a poem created during the ritual of a tarot circle, the exhibition’s title Who Blows The Horn? ruminates on the process of becoming and being in relation to self or community. Collings-James traverses a precarious edge, reckoning with the seeking of justice and knowledge, by way of an evocative symbology.
