Naomi Kendrick’s practice uses drawing to articulate and make visible sensations, patterns of thought and feeling from the darkest times to the euphoric; particularly those that may lack a recognisable form, a name even.

“I am interested in the psychological space we occupy when we draw. Drawing is where I think, question, take breathing space, and feel. I enjoy the immediacy of drawing and what it reveals, it’s instinctiveness.”

Through the act of drawing Kendrick aims to tune in to and notice the shape of her mind as it changes in response to the ebb and flow of life. Often using techniques such as listening to music or hypnosis to evoke and draw different mental states.
