Study for Hoovering, Morning, December
2020
A luminous interior scene rendered in oil on paper, capturing a solitary woman engaged in the mundane domestic act of vacuuming in the cool, diffused light of a December morning. Walker's loose yet confident brushwork conveys a sense of quiet intimacy, bathing the figure and her surroundings in the muted, bluish tones characteristic of winter daylight filtering through unseen windows. The work reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of women in private spaces, elevating an overlooked everyday moment into something contemplative and visually compelling.
