Original artwork description:

What do you see when you listen, I mean really listen? Perhaps you close yours eyes or simply stare into the distance to focus your minds eye and capture your own interpretation of what you hear. Our world is filled with sounds as rich as the colours we might see if we gave ourselves time to notice and enjoy, this work combines my love of the human figure, its form, gestures and movement each wrapped in the subtleties of language and interpretation.

Observing people is a fascinating activity most especially when amongst acquaintances you barely know on their home turf. The spoken language may be foreign or simply difficult to hear but body language is something we can all experience first hand and enjoy interpreting sometimes with so much fun.

Talking Heads is not a literal rendering of people talking, what was said or where the conversation took place, everything is there for you the viewer to discover and enjoy, perhaps you will invent your own dialogue and truly engage with the work as I did.
