Specialist note
'The elongated and slightly divergent necks derived from the plants which grew at my studio door and which I watched and drew because of their structural buoyancy ... The subject of the people struggling against the wind came from seeing, from the window in my London flat, a mother and her two children struggling against a strong wind. If you look at a crowd you do not count the arms and legs, you just see the odd arm swinging and the odd leg moving.’
