This piece builds on a body of work focusing on the architecture of Tokyo, Japan.
Following my trip to Japan in 2018, I became fascinated with architecture and it became the focus of many of my paintings. I like to strip down the detail and focus on the repeating patterns of man-made constructs. In the major cities of Japan, I noticed how often their stairwells were built on the exterior of the building, forming patterns in otherwise dull spaces. This idea formed the basis for this series of works.
