In March 2026, DRAW Space is excited to present FILAMENT
FILAMENT explores the line as a fundamental structure which enables the break down and reconstitution of three-dimensional forms. While the two-dimensional line has a well established history of mark-making and allusion to mass and depth, the three-dimensional line has a genealogy in craft, sculpture and high end technology. Processes such as weaving, knitting, 3D printing and laser scanning are capable of creating complex form by processing one line at a time.
Anthropologist Tim Ingold notes the ubiquity of the line in both actions and physical structures. Human activities such as speech, music, growth and travel operate linearly. Both organic and non-organic bodies comprise linear structures as fibres, veins, branches, roots and needles. This exhibition gathers nine artists who through varied motivations, implement the three dimensional linear structure as a means for mobility between form and abstraction, growth and disintegration.
The exhibition is curated by Sarah Eddowes and features the work of artists Benjamin Chevalier, Sadhbha Cockburn, Kathryn Cowen, Jacqui Driver, Sarah Eddowes, Annabelle McEwen, Shane Nicholas, Mandy Robinson and Maya Stocks.
