John Plowman is an artist whose expanded practice encompasses both studio and curatorial activity
through which he explores his interest in the production of art, its site(s) of production and
exhibition.
He is interested in the gap between inspiration and fabrication. This ‘gap’ is a mental picture of
the connection between the physical world and the world of ideas: the physical work involved in
making a work of art, and the idea of the work of art – both before and after it is made.
The Sketching Kit multiple was made by John Plowman during the course of a project entitled
‘Twilight Shift’. In which the site of the exhibition, the gallery, was also the site of production.
Over a three week period, he worked on the production of the ‘Sketching Kit’ Contained within the
compartments of the 'Sketching Kit' box will be a sketch book, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser and
the shavings from the sharpened pencil which has been
used to make a drawing on the first page of the sketchbook.
