Illustrations based on The Golden Lane Estate, on the City of London’s northern border.

The estate is a prime example of postwar social housing. I interviewed a handful of its residents revealing preconceived stereotypes I had about social housing. The project was called 'Outside In'. It depicts the perimeter of the estate; the facade exposed to external conceptions. 'Outside In' came together as a book and as you progressed through it, the residents’ views and true thoughts about social housing were revealed, realigning the readers’ opinion. The drawings are pen-drawn, with colouring-pencil block colours, mounted on a background photo montage.
