Hanging pockets of old and new

Kate Tucker’s practice spans painting and sculpture and regularly combines them into hybrid forms. Central to all is a drive to push at the edge of familiar forms in order  to question accepted notions of what art, and the artist, should be. Tucker, in reference to her works from the past decade, will discuss the importance of orienting art practice towards enduring internal drives rather than trying to fit into an accepted rubric of an art career.

Facture – the manner in which something is made
—
Join us Saturday 12 April for the 2025 Drawing Symposium at the National Art School, presented by the National Centre for Drawing. Featuring a diverse range of national and international speakers, as well as associated performances and exhibitions, this event is held in conjunction with the 24th Dobell Drawing Prize. The symposium will explore the theme of Facture, a concept that emphasises an artwork’s tangible reality as an intentionally crafted object, linking the act of creation directly to its physical presence. Considering an artwork in terms of its facture reveals it as a record of the artist’s decisions, methods, and materials. Discussions will examine how this concept enriches our understanding of drawing and aligns with contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches to art-making.
