Biography
My practice derives from an interest in architecture, over the last few years I have been studying specifically the construction of buildings, finding diagrams and taking photographs of construction sites to study the functional elements of architecture which are often hidden when buildings are complete. I then use drawing and digital software to play around with the shapes from these images, adding colour and allowing various compositional ideas to cross over and develop naturally into something sometimes quite removed from the original source material.
The final compositions of my prints are completely formalistic, I am searching to create balance while still maintaining visual interest.
