all hail the shrig (2)

As part of David Shrigley's brand-spanking new exhibition (How are you feeling?) @ the Cornerhouse I attended an absolutely delightful life drawing session during the three day run up to the opening - along with many, many more artistic and in-the-know members of the public. 

Walking into the vast empty space with this vulnerable figure stood singular in the centre was eerily similar to that of a normal life drawing session despite being a million miles away. The figure, which stood completely out of proportion, urinating into a bucket every 2 minutes and continually blinking with no other bodily movements was quite overwhelming. The atmosphere of the space and the people within it was far from overwhelming however  and was in fact extremely therapeutic and carefree - churning out lively and energetic drawings without hesitation or remorse.

The drawings that myself and the rest of the public have created will be presented beside the figure when the exhibition opens officially on the 6th October.
