I love to come across forgotten work in my sketchbooks and find it still resonates. Above is recent work beside four drawings on the left from 2012, when I first began to insert text and calligraphic shapes into my drawings. I would invent fake logos and adverts, consisting of drawings of plants and cats with a word like 'Weetabix' drawn in a 'serious' way which gave it a comedic twist. In 2012 I was not sure what I was making. I showed the drawings during open studios that year, but didn't get any feedback. Visitors to the studio overlooked the drawings, excited instead by brightly coloured plaster sculptures of Voynich inspired plant forms I had made that year. Consequently I thought the drawings were silly and dismissed them. They may well be silly, but I am so glad I didn't throw them away as they intrigue and inspire me now.

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!)

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). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
