Original artwork, 210 x 297mm (A4), pencil.

This is a pencil study for a sculpture from 1983 of an old lady in Leigh high street crossing the road, she is wearing a long coat and leather gloves with a walking stick in her left hand and lightly sketched shopping bag in the other, around the back of her hunched figure is a darkly shaded shadow. Karen’s empathetic practice often sheds light on those who are vulnerable in our society.
