The first exhibition dedicated entirely to his drawings, Orbiter by Callum Harvey presents focal works begun during his residency at Gwithian Chapel in Cornwall, a former Methodist chapel built in 1810. Set within a landscape shaped by tidal movement, shifting light and expansive sea views, the residency prompted a mode of lived observation through drawing.

For Harvey, drawing and painting are a synonymous practice. Working from the shadows upwards, he builds his paintings in much the same way a drawing emerges. His drawings distill natural forms into patterns and structures that investigate the boundary between the organic and the designed, while painting becomes a form of drawing extended into colour and surface.

Based on photographs taken during long walks through the surrounding coastline, the drawings in Orbiter use recurring motifs such as the sea, the moon and birds in flight, to reflect cycles of movement. Harvey is less interested in landscape as description than as a surface of shifting light and tone, where natural forms become vehicles for exploring perception and change. As throughout Harvey's practice, the natural world is not presented as a fixed reality but as something mediated through observation, photography, ornament and design.
