I've been making some new work in the studio based on ideas from the industrial surroundings and findings on the streets of Homerton, and the empty spaces around the canal and the Olympic development. Using found materials I've suggested industrial forms which change through the making process into something more abstract.
The light-weight look adds to the effect of the brightly coloured foam. Its waste sofa packaging, that normally goes to upholsterers but I acquired it from a wholesalers on the High street.
