"Drawing teaches us to observe and if we were more visually aware in this country, our environment would not be in such a mess. And possibly there might be less crime and violence if we could notice and enjoy what we see." Letter published in The Guardian, November 1995

In this work, I use drawing and text to create a space of social interaction and engagement in and with the city rather than one of public consumption or dismay. I hope that this unexpected work will interrupt and challenge viewers' visual routines for a second to notice the nooks and crannies of our city.
