In Beijing, I spent a lot of time walking around looking at building sites. I was handed many leaflets with photgraphs and details of newly or nearly erected constructions promising "a luxury lifestyle" and other enticing possibilities. Some of my drawings use the buildings from these leaflets, cut out and drawn around. The interior is then converted into the scaffolding or earth pile covers that the buildings would have initally emerged from. It was fascinating to spend time in a city in the throes of such a radical transformation and to see the cityscaspe as it realigns itself.
