Emma Holden and Anka Dabrowska both exhibited together in 'Geography is a Flavour' at Baldwin Terrace run by August Arts. I was struck by both their work. If I read this correctly they will be both exhibiting separately later this year at sevenseven, in East London.

Emma Holden's work was organic grewing pencil of repeated pen marks. One piece was like a delicate dragon without eyes but drawn on a page from the financial times.

Anka Dabrowska's delicate water colours and fragile pencil lines are often on different grounds such as paper bags. Though the lines and the execution are delicate the subject matter is of things remembered from Dabrowska's past such as military helmets camouflaged.
