“I want the show to uplift the importance of paying attention to the things around you, valuing your perspective. In a way, this is about ritual. It was really about taking walks every day, collecting things, and making based on a place. I hope it does justice to the time I spent in Lamu letting chance lead the way, being present and mindful. It is considering small things, having faith.” – Agnes Waruguru

I WILL SEE WHAT I WANT TO SEE
Circle’s second guest-curated exhibition this year brings together sixteen artists, looking at how artists use drawing to record the days of their lives, turning continuous observations of the world into meticulous renderings that exist between recollection and imagining. It also considers the ways in which artists reduce the world to their own image, inviting us to that interior space that evades direct description.
