Sequence of drawings based on illustrations of tumour growth and the way they co-opt the body’s blood supply, generating new veins to supply their exponential growth. I am making an explicit analogy here between tumour growth and the growth of a town into the surrounding country side.
I am also working on drawings that show the healing effect of therapies on cancer which depict the city being reabsorbed into the natural world.
The cartographic aesthetic I have used is from maps of London’s suburban growth before the age of mass transit in the 17th and 18th centuries.
