Let Peace Prevail

I’m posting some of the work I did from my travels to Pakistan way back in 2007. Wow, so long ago!!! One day we got into the minibus and set off out of Islamabad through Peshawar and headed towards the Khyber Pass in the North West Frontier! We picked up a jeep load of armed militia on the way, in case of bandits, and ended up on a hill above the border with Afghanistan! I sketched quickly, looking down at the brightly coloured lorries snaking their way towards the crossing point, with Tamburlaine’s ancient fort towards the bottom left. Back home, I created this large full-colour monotype, a lengthy process. It’s called “Let Peace Prevail” because because just behind me was a sculpture erected by Pakistani schoolchildren with that phrase written on it . I wish we, as a species, could make that happen. Maybe someday.

  1. I remember you doing that residency. Or surely your residency in Pakistan must have been a later trip as I only found your blog sometime after 2012 I guess.
