The artist produced a series of wash drawings of running men which relate to her sculptures. In these works she radically simplifies form, suppressing facial features and deliberately elongating the figures, reducing everything to what she sees as the essence of man and mankind. 'I think that my figures of men say so much more about how a human feels, rather than how he looks anatomically. I can sense in a man's body a combination of strength and vulnerability - vulnerability not as a weakness, but as the capacity to survive through stoicism or passive resistance, and the ability to suffer or feel' (see B. Robertson, Elisabeth Frink, catalogue for the National Museum of Women in the Arts exhibition, Washington DC, 1990, p. 49).
