The maps, buildings and semi-architectural drawings in my work are based on places that are familiar to me. They hold sentimental value or are associated with my own personal history. Each piece engages with place; psychological, physical or imagined, mapping out my memories and experiences in the process. Member of Gossip Collective: www.gossipcollective.weebly.com
