Auntie Renee

Moving on from my last exhibition 'Nothing Personal' I've been working on a series of drawings for my next show. I did so much research for the last show it's hard to just leave it behind and I've found even though the themes are different, the same faces keep popping up.  The next show, which is on at the Deaf Cat at the end of May is called "I just can't stop, no matter how hard I try". One series of drawings tells the story of an ageing showgirl dancer who can't leave the job, despite the stiff joints and saggy bits...

Here are a couple of early sketches. She's called Auntie Renee.
