These pieces of work started with quick sketches from pictures and from life, which were then combined into a composition. Overlapping geometric shapes of coloured tissue paper were pasted down to create a background layer and permanent markers were used to bring out the drawing. Decorative elements and filling patterns and marks were added later.
