On Monday 10 August 2026 we met at Zaad and sketched around Wolstenholme Square, Liverpool. Jorge Pardo’s Penelope sculpture appears in pencil, ink and watercolour, its looping stems and coloured spheres rising above the trees. Other sketches look towards nearby shopfronts and streets.

Penelope was created by Jorge Pardo for Liverpool Biennial in 2002. Commissioned for Wolstenholme Square, the work brings sculpture, lighting and seating into the same public space.
