Battersea, Outlooking

$2,500.00

2002
Graphite on vellum
18 × 24 in

Made during an exchange at Chelsea College of Art and Design, the drawing looks from a dormitory window across a park in Battersea. The exterior view is interrupted by the reflected pendant light inside the room, allowing interior and exterior space to occupy the same image.

Part of a larger series of soft graphite drawings on vellum concerned with wistfulness and pensive looking, Battersea, Outlooking turns the window into both a viewpoint and a psychological threshold. The eye moves outward, but the room remains present in the act of looking.
