3 - 4 October 2008 International Drawing Conference 'Marking Time' the performative aspects of drawing at the College of Fine Arts University of NSW, Sydney, Australia.

For the International Drawing Conference Marking Time at COFA I presented a performance work called THE BENCH which belongs to an ongoing project titled Shared Space. THE BENCH draws on a common sight in parks around the world where someone sits on a bench to relax, to think, to eat lunch... and a stranger joins them; sometimes to have a small talk, sometimes to share the place to sit.
