Draw with me is a live one-to-one performance exploring care based practices in the form of drawing.
The action of this work originates from the artist’s experience self-soothing through drawing. Whilst often invisible this practice has become deeply meaningful in their management of chronic pain, gestating into an everyday ritual of rest and survival.
When performed in a shared setting this practice of rest becomes an intimate durational performance, one that honours vulnerability and invites participants into a shared space of radical tenderness and reflection.

Draw with me, live one-on-one performance, 2025
Gemma Jones is a Glasgow-based performance artist working at the intersection of disability justice, somatic and landscape.
Their work combines performance (durational, one to one and site specific), drawing, writing and sound to explore new languages and or possibilities of the body. She creates performances that are not rehearsed where she uses her time before to research extensively, draw, write and gather images with a plan to respond to the present moment in front of the audience and or landscape.
Documenting performance continues to excite them and they finddrawing, writing and sound interesting tools to transform the ephemeral nature of live performanceinto a new form
