Curated by Danny Lacy and Ellinor Pelz, Wall Drawings brings together eleven contemporary artists from across Australia: Penny Evans, Emily Floyd, Tony Garifalakis, Julia Gorman, Yuria Okamura, Jason Phu, Kerrie Poliness, Cameron Robbins, Gemma Smith, Lisa Waup, and Jahnne Pasco-White, exploring the expansive nature of wall drawings and paintings through newly commissioned, site-specific wall-based works. Each day, drawings amass from thousands of consecutive lines drawn in graphite onto the gallery’s foyer wall by Robbins’ sunlight powered instrument, while Pasco-White’s wall piece is an archive of her family’s life created from used materials: fabrics coloured with natural dyes from compost, including avocado and passionfruit skins and bark. Presented as part of MPRG’s Festival of Drawing 2021–22.
