Recently I've been looking at ways to combine my figurative work of people waiting and my more landscape orientated work of liminal zones to do with travel and transport. I've struggled with this earlier in the project as I was unable to figure out how to put figures into the landscapes I was interested in without ruining my interest in them. Recently though I've found a few compositions, from my drawings of people waiting at traffic lights, that I think could fit into the landscapes I'm interested in without ruining the sense of distance, space and emptiness that caught my interest to begin with.
I think the reason that a lot of these compositions seem like they would work is because the figures have their back their back to us or are looking away. I feel if anything this just emphasises the sense of distance that I'm interested in but could also give the piece an enigmatic feel and suggest a narrative.
