Art work from school days!

Roman Head, card, 1967

I found these photographs within an old file today.  They were included with some photographs of artwork created whilst at school.  It is a construction using card and other materials. I no longer have the sculpture and do not have a record of its exact dimensions but it was 30cm high at least.  Amusing to see how well it relates to my current working methods.

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.
