Ann Christopher RA
Drawing – The Lines of Time
25 February — 29 May 2016
Ann Christopher RA
This exhibition presents a new series of drawings, The Lines of Time, by the award-winning abstract sculptor Ann Christopher RA.
Ann Christopher RA began this project while working in Southern France near the town of Albi. She describes the forms represented as originating from her experience of the “ever-changing effects of the climate and light on the landscape” in that area.
The drawings, which have never previously been exhibited together, continue Christopher’s exploration of line – a theme that connects her non-figurative sculpture, drawings and prints.

Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–6pm
