Sound Lines
is a series of drawings made during a textile field trip in Gujurat, India (February 2014) and at a Land Art Project in Fall, Norway (July 2014).

The chinagraph drawings and rubbings were made on a tour of textile factories, workshops and museums in Gujurat. They were made “on the run”, in buses, museums, artisan studios and ancient mosques, temples and traditional step wells. There are line drawings of colourful and intricate embroideries from Ahmedabad’s Calico Museum and others from the Rabari embroidery workshop at Kala Raksha; the rubbings were made at Gandhi ’s ashram, in markets and woodblock workshops.

The drawings were made in Norway as research for a site specific work titled ‘Birch Bridge’. The materials for the work–birch wood, hemp, brooms and pans–were found in situ, except for a woollen fleece bought from Tasmania (my birth place) specifically for the project. Carbon paper was used to copy each drawing and rubbing, the carbon copy becoming in turn the foundation for a new work. A number were made in response to sound works by composers in the project; other artists collaborated in drawing.

Each collection of drawings was made in a particular location, over a three week period in the company of artists and designers. Gathered together, exhibited side by side, they are a diary of images, conversations, history, fast impressions…grounds for a deeper understanding of a new place and the complex layers of history that go to make up each site’s identity.

Land Art Project Participants: Boyd, Alison Clouston, Caroline Ho-Bich-Tuyen Dang, Kaisu Koivist, Egil Martin Kurdol, Kjell Samkopf

Therese Kenyon 'The Water Rushed in...' exhibition opening 13 August 5.30pm 2014

Predominantly works on paper and drafting film, the exhibition is at the Annexe, Brenda May Gallery Danks St, Waterloo as the final exhibition of guest curator Akky van Ogtrop's project Het Papier, 2014.


In its violence, water takes on a characteristic wrath; in other words, it is easily given all the psychological features of a form of anger. Man rather glibly boasts of checking this anger. Thus violent water becomes water to which one does violence. A malicious duel between man and the floods begins.
Gaston Bachelard


This installation of drawings features work around the idea of water being an expression of precariousness. Drawing on a centuries-old painting of Chinese flood imagery, I use the iron wire line (precursor to manga) as an illustrative element alongside Asian pictorial structures such as the vertical scroll format to create a new sequence of works. The common denominator is imagery of people being rescued, taken from photographs of the storm surge in Zeeland, the Netherlands in 1953 and televised footage of Hurricane Sandy on the east coast of North America in 2012.
