About

Anne Howeson lives and works in London and Italy. She uses drawing to explore themes of place, narrative, time and memory. For many years she was a tutor at the Royal College of Art, promoting drawing as outcome, process, and way of thinking, and is now a full time practitioner working on self initiated drawing projects for exhibition. Her first solo exhibition Remember Me, at Guardian News and Media 2009, recorded architectural regeneration in King’s Cross, London. Present in the Past, at Collyer Bristow, London, 2015, took digital fragments from archive material, initially from the Museum of London’s prints and drawings archive, reinventing and transforming their content and scale into drawings that shared stories about mortality and the passing of time. Feet of Angels, Carey Blyth Gallery, Oxford 2023, collaborated with the Fox Talbot digital photography archive, held by the Bodleian Library, Oxford, in an ongoing narrative series, looking at human identity, war and dispossession. Other imagery working with photography and drawing explores themes of family: self, mother, sisters – and water.
