Discover a profound journey into more-than-human worlds with David Harbott’s evocative charcoal drawings.

For this solo exhibition, David Harbott will produce new works that build on his previous research and practice. His earlier Clump Studies explored how living entities survive, thrive, and interrelate in micro-ecosystems—drawing not just what is, but what could be. Ontological Choreographies mapped the Torbay coastline over time, presenting observation as a political and ecological act. Harbott’s field‑drawings are not mere sketches, but dense records of coexistence, interdependence, and belonging, asking: if we are inside ecology, how does that reshape our sense of self?

About the Artist
David Harbott is an independent artist and researcher based in Torbay and Buckfastleigh. With an MA in Fine Art from Plymouth College of Art and currently a PhD candidate in biological subjectivity at the University of Plymouth, his work bridges ecology, drawing, and philosophy. His observational drawings rethink human identity through the lens of more‑than‑human worlds. You can find out more about his practice at davidharbott.co.uk or @davidharbottartwork

Join us for the opening celebration on Thursday 19th March, 6–8pm.

At 6.30pm, David will speak about his embodied approach and the performative aspects of drawing. This will be followed by songs exploring property and power from the English folk canon, performed by Gwenna (Goblin Band).

As ever, all very welcome.
