subtlest inside, monstrous outside 

​​

​

series of drawings

​

the drawings emerge from close observation of the city —

from inside out and from outside in.
fences, backyards and delivery bays, parking lots, curtain walls, passages and window frames: not the individual object, but the relationships between them;  the way space is structured and perceived while moving through it or looking out into it.

​

the grid appears at times as an ordering system, 
at others as surface texture.  architectural fragments activate it: a stairway, an open doorway, a threshold. 
oil pencil works against the austerity of the system. colour and stroke give line weight and presence, introducing a tactile quality that resists the grid’s apparent neutrality. 

​

the drawings occupy a space between map, elevation, memory, and observation. they are less depictions of specific places than assemblies of the urban: its porosity and enclosure, openness and restriction, pattern, rhythm, texture, proportion
