-
Life Drawing is about a creative couple moving to the country to concentrate on their artistic practices. However, their past betrayals follow them. They make friends with their neighbours but eventually things take a terrible turn. The challenge with this was for it not to look like a guide on how to do life drawing! I illustrated a frame hanging on the wall so it set a bit of a domestic scene as well an artistic one. The frame is a bit skewhiff, deliberately unfinished and punctuated with an erratic scribble to give the unsettling sense that someone was interrupted.
