This 'Airport' is the second in a series of drawings leading up to an exhibition early next year. This along with the first image have been exhibited first at the Nola Millar Library.
I installed this piece today. It will remain for the next 2 - 3weeks.
It was great to catch up with staff and students. They're busy with end of year shows and exhibitions. The first image was met with quiet reserve from most so it was wonderful today to see people rushing to it. Openly discussing and enjoying the work. I'm more relaxed sharing the work and the audience, it seems to me, is more relaxed in receiving it. A pleasure basically :)

Pen and Ink on Archival paper
Drawn by Brendan Heffernan September 2013
A drawing is a series of risks, mistakes and corrections. Each line is drawn in relation to the other to create composition. I explore as little in pencil as possible and discover the drawing within the permanence of ink. The stakes are higher and the result alive.
Hi Brendan, do you ever exhibit your drawings? My son and I saw this when we went to the NZ School of Dance end of year show and were blown away, it's amazing.
