projects with john

Armed with sketch book and pens, I walked and cycled documenting the Uk's most notorious and successful shopping centre...Milton Keynes. As artist in residence I redrew my sketches big with watercolour and marker pens direct on to the White Wall gallery wall as hoards of Christmas shoppers passed on by, the exhibition space was 3m x 18m long and took a week to complete. My sketch book observations showing my return to the city where I lived and grew up in for 25 years. One of the biggest thrills of this project was hearing peoples verbal responses to seeing work being created live on the wall.

The sketches that inspired the drawings
for the WHITE WALL at Milton Keynes.
A catalogue containing most of the original sketches from my two week resedency at thecentre:mk. It was designed to help document and promote the drawing project for MK Contemporary and as a start to the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of Milton Keynes.

Spiral bound, colour card covers, 32 b/w pages with a fold out section in the middle of the wall drawings. Text contributions on story telling and drawing by Philippa Tipper and Tim Searle.
