Below are two paintings on paper of cisterns by my partner Bernard. He has them hanging in his work shed, and when I was there the other day after seeing Eva Hesse's drawing I was struck by the nice relationship they all have and how they talk to one another.
In my childhood my Dad (leading draughtsman and architect) would encourage me to deconstruct boxes, carefully folding them out to see their flattened shapes. It is a practice I have continued ever since with undying fascination, so I was particularly interested in this collage/drawing by Eva Hesse which reminded me of those shapes.

I came across Eva Hesse's drawing online: Forms Larger and Bolder, an exhibition of a selection of her early drawings held at Allen Memorial Art Museum (Oberlin, Ohio) last month.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
