Victoria Sharples
Often made without looking at the paper, Sharples’ drawings record specific features, figures, and architectures. These drawings extend Sharples’ sculptural practice, exploring medico-religious structures and bodies—both human and not—as spaces of presence, absence, and transience. Drawing here is not preparatory but sculptural in its own right: a spatial language that holds temporalities in suspension, holding space for many readings.
