The title of this collection of small drawings is the name of a public space in the centre of Newtown (Gadigal) in Sydney’s Inner West. It’s a place that honours the remarkable diversity of the area in which I live and work and it is always busy. I sat on a bench in Pride Square while I made these drawings during a warm summer afternoon. Each drawing is a response to a person moving through the Square or stopping to talk to friends or waiting at the lights to cross the road. What does a person’s appearance and the way their body moves in space say about them and how does this translate as a drawing?
