A collection of pen and ink drawings by Christopher Guest
Cornerhouse Projects
Tuesday 6th July- Sunday 15th August
FREE, CAfe & Bar
Christopher Guest will be exhibiting a series of pen and ink works from his recent collection. These large scale “doodles” demonstrate his concern with obsessional mark making, issues of time, the flight to cover or not to cover the entire working surface and the impermanence of the image.
He investigates the thought that we leave a residue everywhere we go, in our actions and in our thoughts. Guest rigidly sets aside uninterrupted 10 hourly drawing sessions throughout the night in a compulsive process that draws comparisons with Horror Vacui- an obsession to completely cover or remove any “voids”
