Common Grounds 3/52

Casey, Sarah (2014) Common Grounds 3/52. [Artefact]

Abstract

Common Grounds is a current project with The Bowes Museum, using drawing to catalogue lace bonnets in the Blackborne Lace collection which were previously unstudied. Some of this lace is over 300 years old and remained buried in trunks since coming to the museum. This is one of 55 drawings, made with oil on paper; when held up to the light they appear like ghostly scans, portraits of long-forgotten people. This Drawing Was Shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2014.
