Cally Trench's drawings
Left Hand, Right Hand
In 2024-26, Cally Trench continued her project of drawing her hands every day. She drew her own hands, life-size from life, using both hands, for exactly 45 minutes (a reduction of 15 minutes from the hour she allowed herself in 2023-2024). Six of the drawings were exhibited, framed in pairs, in A Question of Drawing, at Ilkon (Ilkeston Contemporary Arts), Derbyshire, 23rd January - 8th February 2025. The drawings shown were numbers 049/415 and 050/416; 067/433 and 068/434; and 089/455 and 090/456. Each framed pair of drawings was shown next to the pair of drawings of the same number (and date) from the previous year: 049 and 050; 067 and 068; and 089 and 090.Thirteen individual drawings were shown in Recording the Everyday - Recent Drawings by Alex Dewart and Cally Trench, at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Maidenhead, Berks, plus one pair, 1st-12th July 2025. The drawings shown were numbers 021/387, 125/491, 138/504, 187/553, 194/560, 205/571, 213/579, 231/597, 239/605, 248/614, 253/619, 269/635, and 274/640, plus the pair 067/433 and 068/434. |
