Drawings: Canterbury Cathedral

Places that Grace has encountered in the course of her career as a conservator have always been at the heart of her work. This series of drawings explores different perspectives of the fabric and environment Canterbury Cathedral – especially places that are often unseen by the visiting public. The quiet, undecorated, less visited rooms and passageways of the cathedral have always inspired Grace's imagination.

"I am always fascinated by the way light can shape the mood of a place and I was inspired by the light that fills the spaces and its effects on the surrounding architecture. Beginning with a set of exploratory drawings, I also developed a series of paintings on glass."

 

Some of these glass panels can be seen here…

This body of work was exhibited in simultaneous exhibitions at Canterbury Cathedral and The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge in 2017-18.
