Sally Booth

The lightboxes reflect Sally’s experience of negotiating the fast-moving, energetic city. She took photographs and made drawings around Bush House, and the walk from there to Waterloo station. The pieces are a composite of layers of legs, feet and limbs, as they passed her by on pavements and stairs, often visually confusing – ghostly traces of moving figures. Sally overlayed these with line drawings in thick coloured inks. The photographic background has been made blue to heighten luminosity.

Sally Booth is a visual artist whose main specialism is drawing and painting. She graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art at Bristol and an MA in Drawing at Wimbledon School of Art.
