------------------------------------------
This series of wooden sculptures depict childhood drawings of houses, buildings, cars and aeroplanes. Each drawing has been faithfully scaled up and into a sculpture by a factor of eleven. The individual works are grouped together to create an imaginary environment with suggestive shadows. The correlations between childhood and adulthood, perceptions of scale and appropriation underpin this work.
