About this work

This drawing shows a loose group of stick-figure-like shapes scattered across the page. Some look like people sitting or standing, others are just odd lines and blobs. The lines are quick and uneven, like sketches tossed down fast. A few figures have simple chairs or curved forms near them. These aren’t polished drawings—they’re rough, almost like doodles. The artist seems to be testing shapes, maybe for a sculpture later. Next, check out Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
