I've been working on an evolving series of cityscapes which reflect my view of the world as a changeable nervous construction. Using real places and elements of the landscape as sort of building blocks, I've been building and rebuilding my own cities in painstaking, almost meditative detail, tinkering with them as I try to make sense of the world.
