The Road to Nowhere
Eleanor Leonne Bennett
Working notes
The image “Road to Nowhere” features the artist’s mother in a rusted, broken-down Morris Minor Bertha dating from the mid-1950s. The car had been left to rot in the artist’s garden, left by her Uncle Graham. The car was long due for repair but had been forgotten. The subject is one I revisit and I have had many front covers from the little car. The interior is a vibrant red that featured on the front page of Orange Quarterly. My mother has featured on magazine covers, too. I believe it grants confidence to those who would never be chosen to model in the fickle world of appearances.
