George Strachan鈥檚 drawing-based practice is rooted in experimentation, process and enquiry. His work is an outcome of exploration into the possibilities and fluidity of the medium. It is, in part, a response to a number of what might be regarded 鈥榗onventions鈥 or characteristics of drawing 鈥 such as those outlined by thinkers like Jacques Derrida. Strachan鈥檚 enquiries into drawing are facilitated via an adoption of frottage: the making of rubbings from a textured surface. This challenges historical associations between drawing and reliance on technical skill and, simultaneously, offers an alternative platform from which to consider aspects of line and gesture in drawing.
