The repeating nature of the drawn elements that are the basis of each city appeals to me as issues such as the framing and cropping are not established at the start. Even as the final drawing takes shape endless possibilities remain open for how it will be utilised.

Depending on whether it is used at a large or small scale it can either reveal all its detail to tell a story, or create a pure pattern in which the same detail becomes a decorative element, giving a finer grain. Drawn components can be used individually or juxtaposed to create compositions that are effectively abstract.
