The delicate detail of a branch on a tree is captured in Rachel Labovitch’s fine drawings.
From this week, a collection of her work goes on display in the exhibition Land Marks at Forty Hall.
Rachel, who has taken up residency at the Grade I listed Jacobean Hall this autumn, explores the notion of an idyllic English landscape in relation to the estate.
The artist says of her work: “I enjoy playing with our perception of landscape; how trees tend to be awe-inspiring and larger than life, temples of the natural world, yet how in these drawings the viewer is perpetually distanced and alienated from them due to their remote situation within the vast white space they inhabit.”
You can also try your artistic skills in a series of drawing workshops, aimed at both children and adults, or for those who just like to admire the drawings, there’s a talk by the artist.
Exhibition runs Wednesday, September 9 to Thursday, October 29. Drawing workshops for adults: Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, October 11, noon to 3.30pm. Drawing workshops for children: Monday, October 26, noon to 3.30pm. Artist talk: Saturday, October 3, 2pm to 3.30pm. Details: 020 8379 1466/1467. www.enfield.gov.uk
