Untitled

Walker's output of colorful drawings was discovered only after his death in 1996. Savannah's urban environment may have inspired the architectural drawings that were his specialty. His colorful images depict buildings that often reveal multiple perspectives, with both interiors and exteriors in the same view. In this work the artist's use of multiple frames suggests a mysterious narrative.
