The "Walls & Façades" series captures the spirit of building surfaces in London and other urban areas. "Why am I so interested in cities? Cities, not unlike our own identities, are constantly changing, rebuilt and transformed. It's a perfect metaphor, in my eyes, for our resilience as humans." Storefronts that have been boarded shut and later reconstructed, walls heavy with dozens of coats of paint and plaster, and postered façades all serve as influences for the textural paintings in the series. The paintings in this collection attempt to expose the ever-changing nature of the subject through a process of building/demolishing, mark-making/erasing, and layering over time. This piece in the series was created during the artist's resdiency at Bankside Hotel's Makers In Residence Studio. As a nod to Japanese tradition, the unstretched linen is mounted on the wall as a scroll format.
