'DRAWINGS, DAYDREAMS AND DESIGNS'
John Thompson

The exhibition traced the development of John Thompson's work for public sites and galleries over the previous ten years, projects from cycle path footbridges to giant metal books for music festivals. The work comprised of a series of sketches, drawings, photographs and maquettes, made as part of the planning stages of larger public works, many of which have become works in their own right.

“When I view his work I get a feeling of depth, of otherworldliness, that is borne out of these frantic, almost automatic scribblings.”
Sally Childs, NGA Visual Arts Manager
