Above 'Urgent Wallpaper', below: 'Cut-out Thinking Pods' were created for CRUMBLE Architecture Magazine's Issue, 'What is Urgent?'. The graphics were inspired by the Scottish Parliament building's 'Think Pods', designed by Spanish architect Enric Miralles. For me they recognise the urgent need for a space in which to think carefully, even within highly pressured circumstances, both as an individual and as a community. The graphics were made using card stencils, spray paint, graphite pencil on 200mg paper and edited in Photoshop. March 2017.
