Breaking away from traditional drawing practices which rest with close observation and illust rative intention\, the artists create drawings through processes of improv isation and collaboration with other people\, built and natural environmen ts\, and selected materials. Unpredictability and loss of control result i n drawings that are becoming\, undetermined and free\; pleasure through li ne is nourished by uncertainty and serendipity. Using fabric\, paper and v ideo\, Allen\, Borowa and Fauerso experiment with mark-making as an act of live and residual performance\, and as such\, their work presents as a fo rm of embodied drawing. Aspects of scale\, movement and theatricality are juxtaposed with discrete lines made by cuts\, tears\, folds\, shadows and the edges of collaged elements which reveal small physical gestures.\n\nAn ne Allen’s interest in natural and human-made patterns sits at the core of her practice. In new work she combines photographic and video stills\, with imagery from botanic samples and Works Progress Administration maps f rom the Dust Bowl era. Collaged and printed on fabric\, the imagery is the n reworked with a further process of drawing\, cutting\, tearing and colla ge\, as Allen collapses time and space in soft\, ethereal folds. Plant sti ll-lives become metaphoric studies of biodiversity and depictions of shelt erbelts - - a traditional practice of planting rows of trees and shrubs ar ound farms to block the wind and prevent soil erosion - - reveal generatio ns of ecological and familial care. The suggestion of fragility\, resilien ce and precarity in Allen’s work poetically reflects contemporary climat e anxiety.\n\nDorota Borowa works with water as an active collaborator to make drawings\, mixing it with oil paint\, ink or watercolor\, and creatin g conditions that allow the water to naturally shape the work. Sometimes t his involves submerging paper in a tank or exposing it to the movement of the sea. Upon installation in an exhibition\, the artist responds to the w ater gestures and extends the drawing into architectural space as a ‘per formance’ or live practice. The unpredictability of the process allows B orowa to explore limits of control\, intervention\, destruction and\, ulti mately\, acceptance. At Fort Worth Contemporary Arts\, Borowa will create a new site-specific drawing installation that unfolds into the gallery spa ce while also intervening in its architecture. Positioned at the entrance/ exit of the space\, the drawing will occupy an in-between space where the interior and exterior become entangled.\n\nJoey Fauerso presents two bodie s of work that connect through time and collaboration. Drawing Battles (20 14-15) is a series of short collaborative videos Fauerso made with family and friends. Breaking down the separation between art and family life allo wed space for improvisation\, and elements of exchange\, interaction and l oss of control are captured in the process of drawing to reveal a gestural language situated in touch and care. Twelve years later\, Fauerso explore d this strategy of performance again. In a Classroom (2026)\, which includ es video and sculptural drawings\, was created in the former Oisawa Elemen tary School during a recent artist residency at the ACRUS project in Moriy a\, Japan. The title of the work -- inspired by a 1971 poem from Adrienne Rich -- considers the tension between a position of logic and rules in con trast to creativity and imagination. Fauerso explores this duality through a series of activities in collaboration with her sons\, which involve cre ating and destroying\, while embracing accidents and imperfections in draw ing. Ultimately for Fauerso the classroom becomes a stage where modest mat erials function as props to reveal the physical and sometimes humorous nat ure of mark-making.\n\nArtist Bios\n\nAnne Allen is an established visual artist with three decades of experience in media including drawing\, paint ing\, printmaking and metals. Her works explore her ongoing interest in pa ttern\, both natural and manmade. Recent themes in her work include those derived from nature\; entropy and debris\, eroded asphalt patterns\, beach detritus\, flood water debris and patterns discovered while running and h iking. In addition\, Allen is an accomplished arts administration professi onal with more than twenty-five years experience in public art project man agement\, art museum management and curatorial work. Well versed in contem porary art and public art trends\, she is an advocate for the arts as a ca talyst for economic development\, and the arts ability to strengthen and e nrich daily life in our communities. More of Allen's work here. \n\nDorota Borowa is a Polish artist based in Ireland.

Breaking away from traditional drawing practices which rest with close observation and illust rative intention\, the artists create drawings through processes of improv isation and collaboration with other people\, built and natural environmen ts\, and selected materials. Unpredictability and loss of control result i n drawings that are becoming\, undetermined and free\; pleasure through li ne is nourished by uncertainty and serendipity. Using fabric\, paper and v ideo\, Allen\, Borowa and Fauerso experiment with mark-making as an act of live and residual performance\, and as such\, their work presents as a fo rm of embodied drawing. Aspects of scale\, movement and theatricality are juxtaposed with discrete lines made by cuts\, tears\, folds\, shadows and the edges of collaged elements which reveal small physical gestures.\n\nAn ne Allen’s interest in natural and human-made patterns sits at the core of her practice. In new work she combines photographic and video stills\, with imagery from botanic samples and Works Progress Administration maps f rom the Dust Bowl era. Collaged and printed on fabric\, the imagery is the n reworked with a further process of drawing\, cutting\, tearing and colla ge\, as Allen collapses time and space in soft\, ethereal folds. Plant sti ll-lives become metaphoric studies of biodiversity and depictions of shelt erbelts - - a traditional practice of planting rows of trees and shrubs ar ound farms to block the wind and prevent soil erosion - - reveal generatio ns of ecological and familial care. The suggestion of fragility\, resilien ce and precarity in Allen’s work poetically reflects contemporary climat e anxiety.\n\nDorota Borowa works with water as an active collaborator to make drawings\, mixing it with oil paint\, ink or watercolor\, and creatin g conditions that allow the water to naturally shape the work. Sometimes t his involves submerging paper in a tank or exposing it to the movement of the sea. Upon installation in an exhibition\, the artist responds to the w ater gestures and extends the drawing into architectural space as a ‘per formance’ or live practice. The unpredictability of the process allows B orowa to explore limits of control\, intervention\, destruction and\, ulti mately\, acceptance. At Fort Worth Contemporary Arts\, Borowa will create a new site-specific drawing installation that unfolds into the gallery spa ce while also intervening in its architecture. Positioned at the entrance/ exit of the space\, the drawing will occupy an in-between space where the interior and exterior become entangled.\n\nJoey Fauerso presents two bodie s of work that connect through time and collaboration. Drawing Battles (20 14-15) is a series of short collaborative videos Fauerso made with family and friends. Breaking down the separation between art and family life allo wed space for improvisation\, and elements of exchange\, interaction and l oss of control are captured in the process of drawing to reveal a gestural language situated in touch and care. Twelve years later\, Fauerso explore d this strategy of performance again. In a Classroom (2026)\, which includ es video and sculptural drawings\, was created in the former Oisawa Elemen tary School during a recent artist residency at the ACRUS project in Moriy a\, Japan. The title of the work -- inspired by a 1971 poem from Adrienne Rich -- considers the tension between a position of logic and rules in con trast to creativity and imagination. Fauerso explores this duality through a series of activities in collaboration with her sons\, which involve cre ating and destroying\, while embracing accidents and imperfections in draw ing. Ultimately for Fauerso the classroom becomes a stage where modest mat erials function as props to reveal the physical and sometimes humorous nat ure of mark-making.\n\nArtist Bios\n\nAnne Allen is an established visual artist with three decades of experience in media including drawing\, paint ing\, printmaking and metals. Her works explore her ongoing interest in pa ttern\, both natural and manmade. Recent themes in her work include those derived from nature\; entropy and debris\, eroded asphalt patterns\, beach detritus\, flood water debris and patterns discovered while running and h iking. In addition\, Allen is an accomplished arts administration professi onal with more than twenty-five years experience in public art project man agement\, art museum management and curatorial work.

Unpredictability and loss of control result i n drawings that are becoming\, undetermined and free\; pleasure through li ne is nourished by uncertainty and serendipity. Using fabric\, paper and v ideo\, Allen\, Borowa and Fauerso experiment with mark-making as an act of live and residual performance\, and as such\, their work presents as a fo rm of embodied drawing. Aspects of scale\, movement and theatricality are juxtaposed with discrete lines made by cuts\, tears\, folds\, shadows and the edges of collaged elements which reveal small physical gestures.\n\nAn ne Allen’s interest in natural and human-made patterns sits at the core of her practice. In new work she combines photographic and video stills\, with imagery from botanic samples and Works Progress Administration maps f rom the Dust Bowl era. Collaged and printed on fabric\, the imagery is the n reworked with a further process of drawing\, cutting\, tearing and colla ge\, as Allen collapses time and space in soft\, ethereal folds.

Sometimes t his involves submerging paper in a tank or exposing it to the movement of the sea. Upon installation in an exhibition\, the artist responds to the w ater gestures and extends the drawing into architectural space as a ‘per formance’ or live practice. The unpredictability of the process allows B orowa to explore limits of control\, intervention\, destruction and\, ulti mately\, acceptance. At Fort Worth Contemporary Arts\, Borowa will create a new site-specific drawing installation that unfolds into the gallery spa ce while also intervening in its architecture.

Drawing Battles (20 14-15) is a series of short collaborative videos Fauerso made with family and friends. Breaking down the separation between art and family life allo wed space for improvisation\, and elements of exchange\, interaction and l oss of control are captured in the process of drawing to reveal a gestural language situated in touch and care. Twelve years later\, Fauerso explore d this strategy of performance again. In a Classroom (2026)\, which includ es video and sculptural drawings\, was created in the former Oisawa Elemen tary School during a recent artist residency at the ACRUS project in Moriy a\, Japan. The title of the work -- inspired by a 1971 poem from Adrienne Rich -- considers the tension between a position of logic and rules in con trast to creativity and imagination. Fauerso explores this duality through a series of activities in collaboration with her sons\, which involve cre ating and destroying\, while embracing accidents and imperfections in draw ing.

Positioned at the entrance/ exit of the space\, the drawing will occupy an in-between space where the interior and exterior become entangled.\n\nJoey Fauerso presents two bodie s of work that connect through time and collaboration. Drawing Battles (20 14-15) is a series of short collaborative videos Fauerso made with family and friends. Breaking down the separation between art and family life allo wed space for improvisation\, and elements of exchange\, interaction and l oss of control are captured in the process of drawing to reveal a gestural language situated in touch and care. Twelve years later\, Fauerso explore d this strategy of performance again. In a Classroom (2026)\, which includ es video and sculptural drawings\, was created in the former Oisawa Elemen tary School during a recent artist residency at the ACRUS project in Moriy a\, Japan. The title of the work -- inspired by a 1971 poem from Adrienne Rich -- considers the tension between a position of logic and rules in con trast to creativity and imagination. Fauerso explores this duality through a series of activities in collaboration with her sons\, which involve cre ating and destroying\, while embracing accidents and imperfections in draw ing. Ultimately for Fauerso the classroom becomes a stage where modest mat erials function as props to reveal the physical and sometimes humorous nat ure of mark-making.\n\nArtist Bios\n\nAnne Allen is an established visual artist with three decades of experience in media including drawing\, paint ing\, printmaking and metals. Her works explore her ongoing interest in pa ttern\, both natural and manmade. Recent themes in her work include those derived from nature\; entropy and debris\, eroded asphalt patterns\, beach detritus\, flood water debris and patterns discovered while running and h iking. In addition\, Allen is an accomplished arts administration professi onal with more than twenty-five years experience in public art project man agement\, art museum management and curatorial work. Well versed in contem porary art and public art trends\, she is an advocate for the arts as a ca talyst for economic development\, and the arts ability to strengthen and e nrich daily life in our communities.

Unpredictability and loss of control result i n drawings that are becoming\, undetermined and free\; pleasure through li ne is nourished by uncertainty and serendipity. Using fabric\, paper and v ideo\, Allen\, Borowa and Fauerso experiment with mark-making as an act of live and residual performance\, and as such\, their work presents as a fo rm of embodied drawing. Aspects of scale\, movement and theatricality are juxtaposed with discrete lines made by cuts\, tears\, folds\, shadows and the edges of collaged elements which reveal small physical gestures.\n\nAn ne Allen’s interest in natural and human-made patterns sits at the core of her practice. In new work she combines photographic and video stills\, with imagery from botanic samples and Works Progress Administration maps f rom the Dust Bowl era. Collaged and printed on fabric\, the imagery is the n reworked with a further process of drawing\, cutting\, tearing and colla ge\, as Allen collapses time and space in soft\, ethereal folds. Plant sti ll-lives become metaphoric studies of biodiversity and depictions of shelt erbelts - - a traditional practice of planting rows of trees and shrubs ar ound farms to block the wind and prevent soil erosion - - reveal generatio ns of ecological and familial care. The suggestion of fragility\, resilien ce and precarity in Allen’s work poetically reflects contemporary climat e anxiety.\n\nDorota Borowa works with water as an active collaborator to make drawings\, mixing it with oil paint\, ink or watercolor\, and creatin g conditions that allow the water to naturally shape the work. Sometimes t his involves submerging paper in a tank or exposing it to the movement of the sea. Upon installation in an exhibition\, the artist responds to the w ater gestures and extends the drawing into architectural space as a ‘per formance’ or live practice.
