About the Event

The artist has selected distinct yet frequent characters from observational sketches in Margate that convey nature and society. Economic booms, depression and destruction manipulate society. Our concerns may vary from environment and globalisation. Crisis makes change, whether socio-economic or personal. Circumstances may trap us. Social and cultural perspectives alter. 

Human nature responds to these attributes and circumstances over time. Factors and advantages that alter society are reflected in fashions, behaviour, attitudes, career-pathways and leisure.  And Margate itself is another city of contradictions; a miasma of cultures, class, religions, careers etc. portraying these effects within society and nature.

This project was going to be developed in March 2020. Unfortunately, Covid had escalated. Prime sketching locations- the shops, the restaurants, galleries- were shut down. You had to go out “for necessary purposes only.” Gradually, businesses have slowly begun to open again and I can return to sketching with vigour.
