The Workhouse "Ghosts" exhibition

Currently I'm working on a number of images for an exhibition in March 2008 at the Workhouse museum near Southwell in Nottinghamshire.

It's a really exciting project for me, and it is a great opportunity to work alongside the National Trust and to support their aims in preserving and conserving our national heritage. The drawings will convey subjects relating to the changing rural landscape with particular reference to industry. I'm going to document the development over the next few weeks so keep a look out.

About Me

Glyn Brewerton
Glyn Brewerton ( b.1975 Nottingham, UK ) studied illustration at Swindon College of Art and Design / Cranfield University and an MA in Communication Design/illustration at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. My charcoal drawings particularly reflect my own solitary journeys through the rural landscape and aim to capture the power and unromantic beauty of nature, and its influence on the people who live and work in these rural environments. These works aim to explore the boundaries and tensions between drawing practice and photographic practice and thus pose questions of the authenticity of both the photograph and the gesture. I aim to achieve photographic qualities by building thin layers of charcoal dust applied and removed with a brush, and by sculpting form and shapes from black areas of charcoal with a rubber. My work starts from a memory of a place or an experience of it and the drawings develop through the application of expressive spontaneous marks to develop an impression of a landmark to embody a sense of place.
