My journey through visual art has been heavily orientated around the exploration of recurring structures within urban environments and their reconstruction as abstract compositions . I felt my response to urban environments was based on the conveyed aesthetics held within architecture . I was also interested in the connection between object and colour . The contrast of unfamiliar shapes with colours taken from assimilated landscapes was explored through a series of acetate collages layered above screens of imprecise ink compositions . Photography allowed me to reinstate the link urban environments make with emotion . The use of plaster sculpture allowed me to convert twodimensional perspectives into three-dimensional utopic city topographies . Still inciting personal engagement , these plaster moulds approach structure from a wider perspective , focusing on the formation of our current cities and how altitude is used to define class .
