In May 2005, Muhanned Cader, Thamotharampillai Shanaathanan, Chandraguptha Thenuwara and Jagath Weerasinghe each created a drawing. The artists then posted their drawings to one other artist in the group, who created a new drawing in response to the one they received. So marked the start of The One Year Drawing Project. This process of exchange continued until each of the artists had received and sent 52 drawings, with the project reaching its conclusion in October 2007. This book brings together the exchange that ensued between the four artists in response, and as a consequence, to the initial four drawings. It includes all 208 drawings from the project, presented in sequence and in their entirety. As a book, the project documents an exchange of view-points - artistic and ideological - sustained during a period of violent conflict in Sri Lanka. A chronology, compiled by the artists, recalls the background of events against which this project unfolded.'
