Hi, I'm Benjy Davies. The drawings that I've submitted for this show are selections from a larger project called Daily Drawings. I started this project in 2008, making a small drawing every day. I was intending to do this just for a month, just to try it, what that felt like. And I ended it up doing it for however many years, 15 years now. So I have about 5,000 drawings in this collection. Each day's drawing is inspired by something I saw or something I thought about, or maybe just an abstraction or playing with a new idea visually with a pattern or shape or, or tone or line or something.
I typically show these in large groups of 30 to 40, to I've shown up to 400 at a time, and it kind of gives the artist a chance to express different parts of themselves. I guess the artist is me! It gives the viewer a chance to see into the artist's head a little bit. They become kind of a long-term autobiography/diary. Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at these images and I hope you find a way to make some art in your life every day.
