Silverpoint Drawings and Sterling Silver Jewellery by Alison Worsnop & Mike Bowman.
Silver: a metal precious in many cultures and in many
languages synonymous with money or valuable
tableware. Silver can also be used for drawing: a silver
stylus leaves a mark that tarnishes to a warm grey.
Silverpoint drawing was popular in the Renaissance,
but little used since the invention of graphite pencils.
In this exhibition Mike Bowman uses traditional
methods to make Sterling silver spoons and jewellery.
Alison Worsnop’s silverpoint drawings record a
population of Eucalyptus alba. Many trees were killed
in a recent wildfire. Her series of elegant and delicate
silverpoint drawings on wood panel commemorates
the survivors.
