Cities from space

The  Overview  Effect. 


​For thousands of years we have looked up at the skies. 
Now, we have the chance to look down, and see how fortunate we are to have this place to call home. 
When we look down - from planes, or from space, a cognitive shift to see life differently is called the 'Overview Effect'. 
​

Cities from space are light maps:  They're political.  They're beautiful.  They're wild. 
They show a snapshot of a place in time and highlight our impact on the planet.

​About

Seen from the sky at night cities reveal new forms: architectural details and colour give way to another world, one of stark contrast and pattern, showing the unique footprint each city around the world casts on the skies above. ​

They tell stories and give clues about our technological advancement, history, heritage and culture.

My aim is to create pieces which show patterns and systems in nature and human-made worlds and show how we're both interconnected and disconnected. 


About the technique:  ink and bleach painting

Purchasing a giclee print

If you'd like to order prints please don't hesitate to contact me.
You can buy work online through the two galleries that represent me. 


Quality assurance: 
​I have spent time souring the right suppliers to ensure each piece is scanned and printed to museum-quality standards. 
Each print is:
  • Limited edition: numbered and signed by hand
  • Printed on museum quality Hahnemuhle German Etching 320gsm paper. This is the best quality paper there is, it’s lightfast (meaning it will last for many years without fading). I selected it for it’s textured effect that is similar to the watercolour paper I chose to work on in the original paintings. ​
