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.

Edition of 65, Graphite and glicee print on hahnemuhle rag
In this series, Danby uses inkjet prints of fashion models as the medium for his graphite markings. The photographs were shot by photographer Olivia Beasley and subverted from their normal course of publication and distribution by his use of them and a found set up. The artist talks about a tendency to respond to the background or difficulty in remaining neutral to it, either to sympathise and go over the base material or to react or obscure and alter it.
