It contains an essay by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith. It is edited by Kate Macfarlane. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition curated by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith that explores the possibilities of drawing using non-traditional or indirect means, whilst addressing such traditional art-historical subjects as portraiture, narrative, figuration, the seascape, the still life and the decorative frieze. The specific notion of drawing that the exhibition is designed to evoke is one of displacement, deferral or obliquity, as opposed to the more currently popular conception of drawing as gestural, expressive, more or less instantly communicative, and complete in and of itself. While there is relatively little drawing per se in the exhibition, the various works included conspire to emphasise the status of line, graph, and pulse.
