Sharyn Wortman: Material Drawing

The Little Gallery look forward to their inaugural exhibition of work by Sharyn Wortman.

A multidisciplinary artist, Material Drawing focuses on Wortman’s experiences of the landscape – real and imagined – utilising charcoal, pastel, slate and paper. Encountering these works, their materiality comes to the fore, Wortman relishing and revealing the properties of her medium through pronounced mark-making.

In 15 evocatively tangible works, Wortman portrays fleeting moments within nature: hints of earth, light, space, water – experiences felt and captured before dissipating again. A walk through Wortman’s exhibition is to walk through the landscape, feel its encompassing embrace but to never fully grasp it; yet the impression endures.
