frances keevil gallery : sculptures by sally hook

‘I draw my work first, in most cases. It is a process of doodling with a free hand and allowing anything to arrive from my mind.  When I review the drawings, I make the ones that stand out for me. In this way, new works flow without a set of restrictions to filter them.

I have always worked this way, with a subject at the top of my mind as a starting point. In most cases, human character seems uppermost, the drawings emerging one by one, person by person. Where these ideas come from is a mystery to me, but I am delighted by the process of discovery and can only watch while the work unfolds.’
