Suzanne K Franklin: Drawing Space - Minus and Plus

  • Free
  • Art

Drawing Space: minus and plus, is a collection of small-scale drawings by Perth based artist Suzanne K Franklin (aka sue.k.).

With the intent to open the experience of viewing to one that’s unhindered by narrative, each work exhibited as part of this exhibition depicts a sphere, or spheres, and a horizon line only. While minimal in what is presented, these, along with the surface marks found in most, become the tools to negotiate the complexities of space, time, and the emotive power of colour and image.
