“There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion-flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear;
She is coming, my life, my fate;”
- Alfred Lord Tennyson
For my final drawing project, I have gained inspiration from statues, including a collection from Edinburgh’s Warrington Cemetery and from the Bath Abbey. Creating a “stain glass” effect, using layered inks in greens and ochre, my desire has been to evoke a sense of the ethereal and nature through this body of work, which links these figures to the situations where they are often found.
