Alexandra Blum, ‘29.10.10 - Dalston Square, 18th floor, the Collins’ flat’, charcoal on paper, 59 x 84 cm
I was apprehensive about showing Ben and Jane the drawings from their bedroom, but they didn’t object to the intrusion. Jane told me how her current book was the only personal ever-changing item next to her bedside. “...it’s one of life’s great pleasures, reading in bed and, since retirement, even in the morning.” Extract from drawing diary 2010
