101 talking heads…
During the Covid-19 pandemic while in isolation in my studio in Marrakech I have taken to drawing while watching TV. I choose current affairs programs where the interviewee is on screen for approximately 10 minutes. They are talking and moving, often interrupted by cuts to the interviewer or related footage so what I am able to capture is not always an exact likeness, but an impression and a snippet of a passing parade of humanity. Working with a dynamic subject and for a limited time, the marks retain an expressive energy without becoming over worked.
Each individual portrait is charcoal on paper, 16x12cm.
