Bent is a graphic collection by Graham Rendoth that includes 97 pen and digital images that explore notions of line, space and mass. The coathanger drawings evolved from long-lost works made from wire coathangers that came from his mother's dry-cleaning shop. His cloud-like popcorns are the only evidence that the corns were ever popped, as each buttery piece was devoured immediately after being profiled. Other images reflect his interests in different realms of physics and nature - there is enjoyment in following his line move around the page to find out where it never knew it was going.

What should be an odd family of figurative and abstract images now live together in a comfortably bent way within these pages.

As said by artist/cartoonist Reg Lynch, who wrote the pithy foreword: 'These lovely, clear, unselfconscious drawings are like X-rays or biological slides or coat hangers. To be looked through, out to a vastness beyond and at the same time back in, to us humans.'
