'Being Human' at the Wellcome Collection 19 November 2023

I joined Urban Sketchers London colleagues at the Wellcome Collection near Euston Station, the museum and library dedicated to health and human experience. It's one of my favourite places in London.

This was my view in Being Human, an exhibition which asks 'What does it mean to be human, now? How can we care for ourselves and for one another?'

Sketchbook in lap in the darkened room, I drew figures in silhouette as behind them Transparent Woman turned towards the light, lifting her arms as if in search of an answer.
