Lady Lucy and

Francis Elliot / Drawing Exchange/ Amy Feneck/ Jessica Marlowe

For the last few weeks I have been inviting donations and loans of French books for a temporary publicly accessible French library at Propeller Island in South Kensington. Posters were put up and call outs announced.

There have been some amazing contributions, which I am documenting in a blog and by a series of indian Ink drawings.

Next weekend The Propeller Island Extravaganza of Art and Performance happens.

I have programmed a series of events and performances to engage with and encourage the critical/ social space of the bibliothèque.


The library will be open

The library will of course be open over the weekend.

Thanks to the following people for their book donations and loans.

Tara Prem, Liz Chapman, Ron Briefel, Nick Woollett, Pippa Gatty, Flora Whitely, Adam Smith, Nicole, Rachel Roberts, Sarah Sparkes and Goodiepal.

Drawing Exchange

The drawing exchange is bought to you by Kayle Brandon and Lady Lucy. It is a social drawing programme. Creating situations where the amateur and the expert, the drawn and the drawer, the
traditional drawing class and a night out down the pub, merge and lose their distinction.
Lucy and Kayle will set some exercises using the books from the library. Bring drawing tools and materials.
