about drawing place
drawing place was conceived by Trish Bould to gather together and give wider meaning to a series of projects and published papers reflecting on shared art and event making. Initially (1999 - 2009), our focus was about understanding and picturing what is widely understood as practice based research. Working together, we established cross disciplinary links between approaches to making a drawing and the process of sharing and evolving new ideas. Our work experimented with different ways of developing ideas within events, drawings, collages, installations, presentations, exhibitions. Collaborative work was made with: Kathy Oldridge, Belinda Mitchell, Charlotte Knox-Williams and others from art, design, architecture and music.
Drawing on this expanded field, more recent projects have been developed with Helen Grove - White and Pom Stanley.
about Trish Bould
<DRAWINGS>
Trish is an artist and academic who makes work about her experience of place, often working with others to develop small and sometimes very big experimental events and site-specific projects.
Originally trained as a weaver, Trish’s work is made using drawing, photography, multimedia collage and by curating events and making installations.
Working in academia for over thirty years Trish contributed to the development and delivery of programmes in Fine Art and Textiles at Winchester School of Art and taught drawing and practice-based research within Interior Design at University of Portsmouth and London Metropolitan University. She pioneered new opportunities for connection through projects: 10daysWinchester.org (2009-2019) a city wide project attracting national funding, ‘Within the Social fabric of a building’ and Sound Seminar (University of Southampton).
Since 2017 Trish has established her studio base on Anglesey developing new creative work and is currently refining work for exhibition and publication. She is also researching change as a new tidal project is established on the West Coast of Ynys Gybi.
