using spot lithography to create these fantastic pictures of the shops that are quickly disappearing from British high streets. Its a concertina work that opens up to 139cm, double sided with shop fronts on one side and the inside with a wonderful short poem on the other.
I found her work and love the shop front theme. When I was at home in devon, I had a spare morning and thought, I walk into town everyday but do I really look? So I took my sketchbook and every so often drew a shop front from one end of the high street to the other.

Another shop front I was drawn to was featured on Klarast Persson's book, ORDEN VAR ÄR NI?
