‘Wanstead Flatz’, Screenprint, 112cm x 71cm

‘Wanstead Flatz’ is based on a photograph of Wanstead Flats looking towards Leytonstone, with added elements of locally found Graffiti, windblown leaves, several Dogs (Amber, Maggio & Tyson, all of which I’ve had the pleasure of living with!) & a slightly sinister picture of my friend (Chris) during his Bearded phase.

Although the Print muses on my usual subject matters of decay & human folly, it is also an Ode to a place I grew to love when I lived there – it’s the largest area of common land in London, and home to numerous water birds, and also the largest population of Skylarks in the capital.
