City Skies

My City Skies series is about looking up at the sky squeezed in between the tall buildings: a simple idea but a compelling project that I was working on exclusively from 2012 to 2021. In that time I made over 750 individual images (each painted/drawn over an original Polaroid snap I’ve taken) inspired by London, Berlin, Hong Kong, Sydney, Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh. The series was my main focus for over 9 years.

You can find my 111 x 70cm, 48-image ‘I Love This City’ prints (featuring Glasgow/London/HongKong), in the shop and originals are still available.
