Confluence
An exhibition by Nick Andrew
Saturday 30 August - Saturday 27 September 2025
Nick Andrew's latest plein air drawing project, started in January 2024, is titled: 'CONFLUENCE': researching and drawing the sources, tributaries and confluences of the five rivers (Avon, Bourne, Ebble, Nadder and Wylye) which define and shape the geography of South Wiltshire, flowing towards and through Salisbury. On completion there will be around 25 drawings and 5 paintings. Each mixed- media drawing also has a written narrative of things experienced on location, such as wildlife, sounds, the weather and more.
Previous drawing projects exhibited at Fisherton Mill include: 'SPiRE' in 2023, exploring the dramatic and varied landscapes looking back towards Salisbury Cathedral spire, guided by 32 points of the compass. And 'A Gap in the Market' in 2021, illustrating a year in the life of Salisbury Charter Market through 34 drawings.
The drawings are all made using mixed media (pen, wax pastel, watercolour, ink and stick, oil base pencils) on Saunders Waterford HP watercolour paper.
