Flight Forms

‘Flight Form’ comes from a series of drawings made in Bunhill Fields, a former burial ground, which was the resting place of a number of notable figures including the British artist and poet William Blake (1757-1827). From this oasis of calm situated amid a dense and frenetic urban setting near Old Street station, Dalton drew birds circling overhead, capturing their lines of flight as they traced rapid and graceful arcs between the trees and buildings, soaring freely through the sky. The drawings were developed into to series of wall based works which appear at different moments throughout the new Derwent London members club to DL28.
