Small Gifts at Pages
Next to Biddles, Pages is one of my favorite places on Lower Clapton Road, an independant bookshop with a gallery underneath. I will be showing there for all of April. In the basement will be some new large scale drawings, yet to see the light of day. Upstairs I have found homes for some of my small drawings inbetween the pages of Eleanors books. If you find one, you can keep it. My private view is on the 1st of April, please come for a glass of wine, and a look through some pages…

Amy Green is a contemporary artist whose practice is principally and in its entirety Drawing.
“My work consists of continuous cycles of small-scale pencil drawings both in books and on loose-leaf paper. Through repetitive drawing practice the marks I make become familiar, I then work beyond my own familiarity, paring marks down to a point of stillness and simplicity. Each drawing feeds the next. Although an entirely connected body of work, each page is individually composed, balanced and closed.
The vocabulary I use as an artist is distinctive as ‘drawing’, that is line to paper, however, I believe drawing to be something less easily defined: as connected more to a process of thought than to physicality. In as much as a drawing is indefinable, the placement of a drawing and the placement of an audience will define it. I see the process of drawing and the act of exhibiting as two distinct phases within the one activity of drawing.”
