My idea of drawing people waiting at traffic lights reminded me of a George Segal piece I've seen. The piece is called 'Walk, Don't Walk' and is a sculpture that depicts several life size people waiting to cross a street.

When looking for this piece I realised a lot of Segal's work can link into my work in this project. as he has also done sculptures of people waiting in line or on a bench and on the bus.

I like Segal's work because it deals with every day things, little moments that go unnoticed but are now frozen for us to appreciate. I think this is one of the reasons I'm interested in looking in looking at people in this project, because it's natural and normal stuff that anyone can understand as they live it.
