TODAY I'M WORKING ON....
A new piece of work arising from my artist residency at the Lying - in - State of HM Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall. It was an honour to be invited to witness the event and make drawings and observations in the Hall, both of the the ceremonies and of the huge number of members of the public from across the globe who visited to pay their respects. I won't be showing the work in progress, but it is developing day by day.
