Rooms within rooms series – architecture with a marbled background. Contrast between the swirling random marbled patterns and the strong architectural lines of the building that could never exist in reality

Traced and transferred.

Preparation work takes ages and actually is about 50% of the job!

I’m really into this multiple perspectives idea. Maybe because I’m mixed race myself, and my kid is even more mixed than I am, I don’t know. Really into thinking globally and also outside the box

I work on several different pieces at the same time, so here is another window tracing

Rooms within rooms/multiple perspectives series

When tracing it comes out the opposite way. I wanted this. I wanted both ways as this mirroring reflects the myriad ways the stories of the 1001 Nights echo each other, so I’m playing with several versions of the same traced building with rooms within rooms, several different spaces and planes and multiple perspectives of which I am always a fan. Like the rhizome, several centres, no privileged viewpoint ~

Rooms within rooms in architecture. Persian miniature painting style

For tracing, my lightbox is broken so using a natural lightbox – studio window!
