Claude Heath
The son of an artist, Heath chose to study philosophy rather than art, and then in the mid 1990s made a series of portrait-drawings while blindfolded, using touch as sole means of ascertaining form. He extended this technique to make three-dimensional drawings, using Perspex mounts and coloured inks, of the horizontal outline and vertical contours of Ben Nevis, a favourite subject for eighteenth century watercolourists. ‘The drawing becomes an extended act or performance, started with the intention of physically carrying out or seeing through an idea,’ he writes.
