This series started with a question: how do you paint New York? I found my way in through the written word* but with this piece, a triptych of three large scale 'architectural' paintings, I think I've found an answer. It's a skyline - the paintings/buildings lie flat against each other but there is also a receding space as the island-shape of Manhattan within them gets smaller from left to right.....
