About

Curator Pennie Elfick RWA invited her fellow Academician artists to explore their ideas within the physical constraints of four 24 x 24 cm panels and one 24 x 24 cm shelf. Within these modest limits, and with no other theme, each artist was encouraged to develop an idea in whichever medium felt most relevant. Their work could be a sketch, painting, drawing, sculpture, or simply a fragment of a larger thought.

Together, these works demonstrate how the smallest gestures can sometimes hold the biggest voices, revealing the power of intimacy, focus, and imagination.
