My use of architectural forms is metaphorical in which I analyse some of the question and the dilemmas  we  humans find ourselves as we struggle for being. Architectural ideas provide for me a psychological space in which stairways, tunnels, passages, large spaces, open or locked doors    provide an  imagery of the human journey.

The  mixed media drawing materials including collage in this group of pictures use a palimpsest/ic process which show the process of drawing and the under layers  of working.  This formal concern replicates the process of aging architecture which concerns the essence of time and the usage of buildings by its carious occupiers.
