Shifting gaze to the urban

My work initially was very figurative. Given the immensity, variety and novelty of everything I was looking at, I felt unable to do much more than simply record what I saw. It was like fieldwork: I went out on drawing expeditions and produced large ink and pastel drawings carried out on-site.

After the birth of my eldest son Andros in 1988, I started spending less time on industrial sites and more time in the city. My gaze shifted from the industrial to the urban.
