Having never really looked previously for statues I have only just realised how few there are in my local area. I was limited to the time I could spend travelling and nearly gave up after checking out all the grave yards and shopping arrears. I was lucky to discover a solitary wooden statue. Its title is Ancestor and it was curved by Helen Styliandes and commissioned by Lea Valley Regional Park Authority in 1992. It now sits in the historical town of Waltham Abbey.
In my drawing I used the background to start on the project on trees. I did not like the view so altered the trees to the left of the statue to give a better balance to the picture for which I used an A2 pencil.
