It struck me as such a simple, elegant, universal position. When I got home, I sketched it, and found that I was really drawing the basic structures of the body; the weight and hang of the head, the cone shape of the arm:

The two shapes – the head and the arm – taken together fascinated me, so I used my sketch as inspiration for a small model in clay –

There’s something very elegant about those two shapes together. I think this might lead to some interesting work! I’ll keep you posted of any developments.
