"For her commission at Stratford station from September, Caroline Walker will explore what an Art on the Underground statement describes as "the often-invisible labour of women working on TfL's (Transport for London) networks at night".

Walker's series of works about the experiences of women in contemporary society ( Caroline Walker: Mothering) is on show at Pallant House gallery in Chichester until 10 May."
