Walk On

WALK ON!
An exhibition of recent work based on drawings made in sketchbooks over the last two years. Figures are on the move, whether pursuing or fleeing, in hope, in fear or in celebration. The theme is explored in various combinations of crayon, ink, pastel, watercolour, gouache, card, collage: the urge is to find animation not style, expression rather than aesthetic status.

“Walk On” is the title of a blues song written and performed by Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry on an album I purchased when still at school. “Keep on walking!” the duo call to each other, if only to promote a buoyant spirit on the restless road, for there is no given destination.
