'The Language of Line' brings together the work of three artists who stretch the boundaries of drawing and sculpture. Harriet Boardman, Ruth Broadbent and Jane Wafer share the use of line, materials, processes and a focus on the natural world. Their individual concerns and starting points have produced diverse works that generate new dialogues in this exhibition.

Harriet Boardman’s work echoes her interest and ongoing explorations into aspects of landscape through encounters with place by solitary walking. For this exhibition she presents works that reflect her concern for line, object-process relationships and place. 'Wind Map', a piece featured in the exhibition uses the wind to create its own drawing through a series of interconnected lines.

Ruth Broadbent’s pen on paper and copper wire drawing sculptures, from her Imagined Lines series, explore questions about abstract line and our instinctive readings of it. This new body of work, triggered by a doodle, has grown into an extensive series of scribble-like lines and a wider investigation into the extension of line in drawing, from imagined lines to tracks and lines in the landscape.

Jane Wafer’s work reflects her interest in the potency of materials. For this exhibition she is making two floor drawings: 'Corrosive – Preservative', an outline map of Britain in sea salt and 'Shadow', a drawing executed on the paving outside the gallery. Also featured are recent sculptures in aluminium and steel, made by twisting a line of wire through space to produce organic forms.
