Drawing Prize

I'm not sure what this embroidered tattoo on a "found image" (an old photo) - Tattoo Face by Julie Cockburn - has to do with drawing other than that it is one of the 70 works shortlisted for this years's Jerwood Drawing Prize. Nearly 3,000 entries were received, with sketchers, doodlers and at least one embroiderer hoping to grab the £6,000 first prize. The exhibition opens on 29 September at Jerwood Space in London and continues until 7 November. The winner will be announced on 28 September.
