The story of Big Drip. Inspired by playful painting experiments in group sessions, this piece was created on pre-cut and primed board by an individual prisoner in his cell. It is one of many examples of the expressive value of paint – the stuff itself and the act of painting – that the majority of prisoners have taken to so eagerly. In most cases, the process has been enhanced by the prisoners’ ingenuity and the discovery of new materials and processes. A ‘magic potion’ of floor polish, ground crayon pigment and PVA glue was excitedly shared out in group sessions, contributing to the range of painterly experiments. The learning has been steep for all of us!

‘Encouraged to explore new approaches to making art, I’ve discovered that I love painting and all of the things it can do. Each time I make a picture, I discover something new, pleasantly surprised by the end result.’ Dartmoor prisoner
