A Light to See By’ is a screenprint made with Atelier Ji – it was printed after a small sketch made at Eton College a few years before.
As an artist in residence there and finding myself out of my comfort zone I decided to collect small sketches of the things I noticed around the college. The ubiquity of the paper lampshades which hang both in my own flat on the Tulse Hill Housing Estate in South London and also in some of the buildings of that palatial establishment gave me pause for thought.
