Work in Progress with Genevieve Draper

Work in progress with the artist Genevieve Draper on her publication, Slow painting, to be published to coincide with her exhibition at the Scottish Arts Club, Edinburgh in July 2025. This is the first time that the artist has made a publication so I have been working very closely with her, guiding her through the various stages of making a book. Originally titled Genevieve Draper: A Retrospective, the title has changed several times to become Genevieve Draper: Slow painting, to reference the artist’s identity as a Slow artist and her carefully considered approach to painting. It has been a pleasure working on this book with Genevieve, not least because of the many interesting conversations that we have had about painting, art school education, and maintaining an art practice. The book is currently being printed by Gomer in Wales and I look forward to seeing the finished book which includes photography by Antonia Reeve, and essays by Penelope Curtis and Erlend Clouston.
