Drawings

Hotel Drawings are an ongoing series of biro drawings on hotel letter-headed paper produced in-situ directly from observation, referencing the cityscapes viewed from the window of aleatoric hotel rooms.

They form the basis of Lonely Planet, a book that collates 450 drawings from the series; Paper City, a digital collage of the works, commissioned and published by Blueprint Magazine in 2008 and From Union Square to Darling Harbour, a five meter long print mounted on aluminium.

The latter is a continuous line drawing of the skyline, as well as urban architecture and infrastructure of fifty-nine cities around the world. These are placed following an imaginary journey along the globe’s longitude, starting in San Francisco and finishing in Sydney. The boundaries between each metropolis are blurred, underlining the similitude of human experiences throughout the world.
