My drawings illustrate ways in which individual bodies connect together and interact to create a communal whole. As such they act as a kind of exploration into social networks of – more often than not – human connectedness. Housed in an anamorphous architecture not unlike the Architecture Parlante of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux in which the shape, size and situation of the structure describes its function in the community, characters viewed voyeuristically through windows create a communal narrative. Like comic book cells, the space of each inhabitant links together with those around it and individual sub-cultures become part of something bigger. A lot of my work is concerned with the disrupted narrative associations of the comic book and a lot of the architecture – and I use the word loosely – I use is a way of knitting together individual frames of a larger narrative
