About the artwork
This is the fifth in my series of six %u2018Concourse%u2019 screen prints made late last year, originating from drawings I made of commuters moving through London Bridge station while waiting for my train. I am interested in the interaction between colour and shape and I use paper stencils which I find very satisfying and think of as a means of drawing by cutting into paper. The stencil for the figures here were more tricky to cut than usual because of the large dark shape at the top with the figure absorbed into it. My usual way of working is to cut the figure stencils out separately and then arrange them on the screen against the flat colours already printed. In this case the darker area had to be positioned from the start so left less room for changing the composition later. The print size is a reference to the 7 inch single sleeves I collected as teenager
