Eviction
My second attempt at interpreting an old local photograph, something completely different this time and more than a little outside my comfort zone. 1918, six o’clock in the morning, and this little group is waiting for the bailiffs to come and evict them from their smallholding, in order to make way for a new housing project. I feel a particular resonance with this scene and the family, bless them, as it appears that this is the land my present house was built upon all those years ago. Watercolour on Arches Rough 300gsm 23 x 31cm. Original photograph courtesy of Archief Eemland.
