The completed model I was commissioned to build an architectural model (scale 1:100) of the set of the long-running British television soap opera ‘Brookside’ based in Liverpool. The model of Brookside Close was for the Royal Institute of British Architects’ travelling exhibition ‘A Place to call Home: Where we live and […]
iPad drawing This dog is enormous – the size of a man – and beautiful. As one can guess, lying on the floor of this old-fashioned pub, Rufus gets a lot of attention and is easily the star in any place he is in. Rufus has received attention from both […]
iPad drawing This is my earliest digital drawing. I was testing out all the different settings and brushes and I quickly got fustrated from the lack of familiarity or experience, hence I spent very little time on it. I did a lot of similar unfinished or child-like drawings. Since then […]

I transformed the pages of a blank sketchbook through cutting. The shapes were based on my observations of the flaking layers of bark found on the mature London plane trees (Platanus × acerifolia) growing in Hackney Downs, London, during 2008. The book was on temporary display at the final show […]
In 2008, through my research at Hackney Archives and my own fieldwork, I created a scale model (1:1500) of the London Borough of Hackney centred on Hackney Downs park. It was A1 size (841 x 594 mm) and was made of mountboard on a foamboard base. The model was on […]
