Building Three - Brighton



Acrylic and polyfiller on board

Work in progress, I still have not managed to resolve the background however I will post up another photograph of what I end up doing, any suggestions are welcome.

Building Two - Modern Public Housing





Acrylic and polyfiller on board

Building taken from 'Tower Block - Modern Public Housing in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island - Miles Glendinning and Stefan Muthesius (1994 Yale University Press)'. A really interesting read which illustrates the triumphs of the postwar Welfare State and public housing.

Building One - Brixton, London




Acrylic and polyfiller on board

I am interested here in working from life but playing with colour and perspective. I intend for this piece to be ambiguous but intriguing. Hope you enjoy!
