Bernard Meadows (1915-2005)

My drawings are in no way drawings of sculpture, but drawings for sculpture. They are often intentionally ambiguous and often unsculptural; in this way I am freer to interpret them in one way or another. It is the idea that is important to me, not the form. They are often mounted two or more in a frame, and usually when so mounted depend on each other - as foil or as reinforcement of the idea.
