High Rise was drawn from a specific tower block in Battersea, although the uniformity of design is little different to thousands of tower blocks up and down the country that were built in the 1960s, and familiar to many of us.

The composition was based on the view we had in the sitting room of my partner’s old flat near Edgware Rd, alongside memories of where my dad had grown up in Liverpool.

Battersea

30cm x 60cm Giclee print on 300gsm Kraft paper.

The old Battersea Power Station, Pimlico, from Ebury Bridge. For years this place lay derelict until recent development. One of the theories was that the various companies who had taken on the site since its Grade II listing in 1980 simply did so in the hope that it would collapse and they would have a blank canvas for the land. Fortunately this didn't happen.

Outside 17B

The house I used to live in, part of a Victorian street of tall terraces in Finsbury Park, was divided into two flats. We lived in 17B, the upper section of a four storey building, but with an iron balcony that looked out over the gardens of our block.

Sometimes scenes catch my eye, and sometimes I make them up. This is an example of the latter.

There was a bit of artistic licence. That smoke doesn’t really appear, but I wanted something to emphasise the light cutting through the gap of the buildings. I should have posed my little man a bit better. I’ll save that for next time.
