In the process of being demolished, a block of flats on the estate I grew up in.

Heygate Estate

Heygate Estate is a housing project built in the 1960s. It’s one of the selected areas in London being demolished for the creation of new neighbourhoods. This view from the top floor of one of Heygate's housing blocks shows a typical Inner London setting. In the background is a cluster of modern skyscrapers at Canary Wharf, a very different setting from the typical inner-city neighbourhood it used to be.

Bermondsey Skyline

Challenging misconceptions that I am just on this earth just to draw detailed buildings because of my architectural background. Challenging misconceptions that I should hide my interest in the male figure. Challenging preconceptions that because I am a tall black male that I should be a naturally confident ladies' man. Have I got news for you.

My solo performance photographed by Greg Szewczyk. Grabbing the attention of passers by on Regent's Canal with small plant pots. People that paid close attention to the 'plants' were educated and re-iterated about lesser known facts about the benefits of cycling and the plight of cyclists in London today.

I Park Art: Bite-sized Cycling Facts

A life-drawing collaboration with Peter Layton on a street in Shoreditch, May 2012, which consisted of a series of outdoor sessions. The purpose of this project was to take me out of the comfort of the studio or the classroom to expose myself and expose the model. To test our abilities to perform in front of the unsuspecting  public. The reactions have been either indifferent or positive; people noticed but claimed ignorance as they walked by, some people took photos from distances and one man appeared very interested and came closer towards the action. The self-consciousness felt by both performers quickly eroded during the session.

I Park Art: A life-drawing performance
