Drawings

Capturing the vibrancy and rhythm of human movement was a pre-occupation of the artist, particularly in the turbulent yet exciting times she experienced during the late 1960’s and early-seventies. Her self-portraits aside, this may explain why she rarely presented motionless figures in her drawings and also gives us a hint as to why she was so prolific in the medium during this time. Most of her paintings had a religious significance to her which, as we have seen, was the principal reason why she so reluctantly parted with them yet with her drawings, and particularly her figurative works, she had no problem making them available to anyone who professed a commercial interest.
