The Art of Line by Lisa Dredge: New Drawings on Paper

The silent power of line and the space between

"My process begins with openness, an uncluttered mind, receptive to influence.
A simple moment sparks the start: movement of curtains in a breeze, a passing shadow, a sound.
From there, form begins to emerge...

I'm drawn to water, and the mud. The pull of the tide, the exposed flats, the quiet churn beneath stillness, these rhythms shape how I think and how I work. I follow where the work leads, experimenting with colour, repetition, and new ways of mark-making. The process is fluid, constantly shifting. I resist fixed outcomes.
By staying open, I avoid the paralysis of conscious doubt. I let the work evolve on its own terms-questioning only after the fact, once the movement has passed. Development comes through motion. The work stays alive by staying in flux."
