About this artwork
This series entitled ‘Apparent addresses nature (I include myself in this), and the drawing of natural forms after they have been imaged by modern technology. In the case of this series, I take X- rays which I invert, then I pick up my pencil. Lines are traced, retraced, erased and observed over the course of the days, weeks or months it takes to create the drawings. They are a labour of love for me, and a patient pursuit which ‘give back’ as much…
as they take.

« In my work, lines are traced and retraced, erased and revisited like intimate memories, until an accumulation of marks gives form to a new relationship, finding a presence of its own. »
Sheila Wallis is a painter and draftsman based in the United Kingdom whose works have been exhibited in England. She cites the possibility of redemption and transformation as being essential in her work. Wallis employs cinematic film stills, photojournalism, daguerreotypes, and Victorian photographic archives as a "point of departure" in her figurative compositions. She favors creating with oils, watercolors, pastel, and charcoal on wood, canvas, or paper.
