George Shaw<br />

<strong>12</strong> <strong>Short</strong> <strong>Walks</strong> (8) 2005<br />

Etching on paper<br />

50 x 41 cm<br />

Edition of 42<br />

Signed and dated by the artist on the front<br />

George Shaw draws his subject matter from the Tile Hill estate, near<br />

Coventry, where he grew up.<br />

Working from an archive of photographs he took of the estate, Shaw<br />

constantly revisits the scenes of his adolescence.<br />

Twelve <strong>Short</strong> <strong>Walks</strong> is like a storyboard with a biographical background.<br />

He made small size drawings and transferred them onto acetate <strong>sheet</strong>s.<br />

Shaw believes the uncanny mood emanating from the resulting images is<br />

due to the workings of the unknown in the ribbon of neglected woodland<br />

edging the estate. Twelve <strong>Short</strong> <strong>Walks</strong> is a series of moments, rather than<br />

a single moment in time.
