This artists explores social and economic themes within her work such as social housing regeneration and often depicts concrete estates. The estates and various other environments she draws are depicted very negatively and this is emphasised through using the medium of pencil as this can often give the effect of grubbiness.
The splashes of colour that are often featured on many of her drawings for me feel quite sickly and contrasting to the drawing. However i think that this is done intentionally and the colour is used to symbolise what these estates felt like when they were first built, bringing hope to the people who were to live there and a complete change of architecture that occurred in the 1950's onwards.
