Drawing is at the the heart of my practice - exploring the uncertain relationship between hand and eye, and the simple yet limitless possibilities of shape, tone, colour, texture and line. I seek to offer a slight or unexpected shift in perception, to explore that quiet alchemy between art and audience.
— Rebecca Ashdown

In Plain Sight

A series of landscapes and exploratory works inspired by Rodborough Common, near Stroud. These represent a year when the world was changing beyond recognition. They capture sounds and movements, shapes and motifs, a moss covered rock, paths scored into valley walls - they are an expression of an essence, sometimes apparent and sometimes hidden in plain sight.
