About the work

The drawing ‘Watch’ is the most recent work in a project titled Freud’s Garden, where scenes and characters are inspired by found imagery – fragments of the past merged with an imaginary present, redrawn in graphite to take viewers on a fictional journey through time, asking questions about the veracity of our perception and recording of reality.
The drawing is made using graphite pencil on hot pressed watercolour paper.
