Description
This volume presents 12 drawings made by the prominent British sculptor Alison Wilding during her time at art school in the 1960s and 1970s, offering an insight into a key period in the artist's development.
The first nine works - collectively referred to as the 'Ethos of the Petrol Station' drawings - were a response to a project during the artist's time at Nottingham College of Art. The final three works date from her Royal College of Art years, and were used as a tool for documenting and furthering her finished sculpture. Taken together, the works provide a glimpse into Wilding's progress in the studio at that time, and connect the drawings not only to student sculptures, but also to drawings and sculptures made almost 40 years later.
