Tactile participatory drawing with my brother Josh Griffiths, this is the process that was used to make the drawings below. It’s been a really interesting series of works, and is more about the tactile and proprioceptive experience of the participant than the drawings produced. So far I’ve done the drawing exercise with other artists, musicians, dancers, and people with no drawing experience at all. I’m always looking for people to draw with so if you’re interested in participating contact me and we’ll see if we can set something up.

A portion of a sustained drawing performance I did at Canberra Museum and Gallery for Music By Cavelight, itself a part of the You Are Here arts festival. The event went from 10pm through til 8am. The sounds are a snippet of a continuous tag team and collaboration between Reuben Ingall, Paul Heslin, Metatone Transfer, Nickamc, Chris Finnigan, and Shoeb Ahmad.
