Fabric of London (new work)





First I need to explain that the pictures were taken with a camera with a broken aperture which was set to 1600 and wouldn't move - hence the overpowering noise.


This is a new project I started this week which is basically rubbings on ruins and more contemporary buildings. I tried a few materials like charcoal and chalk but 8B graphite was the most effective. For my experiments I chose the London Wall and traced a part of the ruins that could give the brick effect. The second picture is a rubbing on a newer building on London Wall road but still quite old and preserved. I would continue to do that and produce a book with original drawings and gyclee prints of the building fabric of the City of London.
