Charles Danby
Charles Danby studied at Norwich School of Art and Kingston University (BA) before graduating from the Slade (MFA) in 2002. He lives and works in London, as a curator, writer and artist, currently lectures in Fine Art at Loughborough University and is a co-founder of PROJECKT, a curatorial research partnership that broadcasts projects across the internet and presents work internationally. His work deals with lines and marking primarily in pencil, more often changing the medium on which this technique is employed than the technique itself. He sees the pencil as intimate, responsive to differences in weight getting close to the page, standing in contrast to the mass-produced and cold printed media upon which he places the marks.

Graphite and highlighter on paper
Despite the obvious mountain associations, the strict geometry of the constructions, most clearly evident in this piece make them seem equally man-made. Their repetitious nature, their organisation and their scale emphasise tis point. Here Danby also marks the back of the piece, and in a less abstract style, almost like a stamp or identifier to mark his roll in its creation.
