Skip Surveillance
watercolour and graphite on sketchbook pages, dimensions variable, 2023

Sketches of a yellow skip moored in a parking bay.
Scraped, dented, and stained, agape until filled with discarded personal effects.
Pages from a sketchbook arranged in a 4×4 grid, like a time-lapse sequence on a noticeboard.


‘PRIVATE PARKING’
watercolour and graphite on sketchbook pages, dimensions variable, 2023

 
Collection of sketches of the parking bay of a Residental Carel Home, arranged in a grid of 5 x 4,
like a work schedule, or bank of surveillance camera screens.
