Circle’s second guest-curated exhibition of 2019, looks at how sixteen artists use drawing to record the days of their lives, turning continuous observations of the world into meticulous renderings that exist between recollection and imagining. It also considers the ways in which artists reduce the world to their own image, inviting us to that interior space that evades direct description.
