Draw with me is a live one-to-one performance exploring care based practices in the form of drawing.
The action of this work originates from the artist’s experience self-soothing through drawing. Whilst often invisible this practice has become deeply meaningful in their management of chronic pain, gestating into an everyday ritual of rest and survival.
When performed in a shared setting this practice of rest becomes an intimate durational performance, one that honours vulnerability and invites participants into a shared space of radical tenderness and reflection.
