Herons have captured my attention lately. I love their feathers and shapes.

A series entitled "The Hollow Men", circa 1988: following a minor fascination for the animation in Pink Floyd's The Wall and a university course on poetry where the professor infected us with her obsession for T. S. Elliott's famous poem of the same name. I had just started experimenting with different drawing media, following my first drawing class and reading my book on Paul Klee and letting go of the restrictions of technical perfection... the series was done on reclaimed packing sheets that feel and look like extra thick card stock, including the slight matte finish which helped the dry pastels to stick to it. This helped me fall in love with messy art materials.

Each is approx: 50cm x 40cm
