The majority of the drawings, all executed in coloured pencil on Ingres paper, zoom in on a microcosm of coastal life - a footprint in the sand, sunlight catching the ripples of a small rock pool, a piece of driftwood, a clump of grass on a sand dune. Rendezvous

Each piece is wonderfully detailed and delicate, resulting in a startling degree of realism. At first glance you see each piece for what it is, paper and pencil on a flat plane. But the more you look the more you become drawn into the space and marvel at the clever way in which Dempster has captured such ethereal qualities.
