(Work in) Progress?

I've been further developing the relationship between the man-made and natural worlds through the medium of screen printing. These images explore not only ideas about 'urban nature' but also ideas about the effect of urbanisation on the environment. Screen print is a technique which suits this theme and style of working as it enables elements of the picture to be layered and repeated. Through layering and mechanical repetition the image become more complex and dense. This process echoes the process of urbanisation and how cities become more complex and built-up as they develop. In these images I've combined hand drawn elements with photography and more gestural mark making. More can be viewed here on my website.
