Drawings You've Never Seen

This unique exhibition, curated by Rodger Stevens and hosted by Egg Collective, brings together the work of over thirty artists and designers from a diversity of disciplines. The work that typically emerges from their studios, however, will not be on view. This is a show of drawings – by individuals who make objects.The demands of the market, the need for consistency, the quest for a clear and coherent voice, these are some of the forces exerted upon the body of work that an artist allows into the public realm. But behind the carefully crafted pieces and the curation of the cogent product lines, runs a perhaps more personal, more intimate, less polished pursuit, one that often takes the form of a simple drawing.This exhibition seeks to offer a window onto that background, into those sketchbooks, through those scraps of paper, overlooking that table of maquettes and models.It is the curator's own love of drawings, and his deep interest in the creators he selected, that motivated this show, along with his hope to offer these artists a stage upon which to share something different with their audience, something out of the ordinary, something free from the constraints of commerce and the pressures of the grand gesture. That is the thesis, and the artists will take it from there.
