'Girl in a Grid' is a depiction of contemporary London, combining common motifs in my work - people and places. On a narrative level, the perspectival lines are intended to evoke a chess or gameboard, or the figure being trapped within a framework, associating the girl with certain psychological states. The clinical, pristine environment is based on some new-build developments in London. In both paintings, I have used the motif of the profile portrait - I enjoy the formality this can create within a design, and it is in a long art historical tradition.
