In 2009, work began on developing a series of installations which used digital and traditional drawing techniques to explore urban environments. Made by projecting digital images on to walls and objects then employing various materials to interact and record the light, the act of drawing and making became an essential process in these live works.Though photographic outcomes and the resulting objects and drawings remained as documentation, the work was only fully realised during public creation. This developed to begin discussing a variety of issues linked to public spaces such as ownership, fear of crime and the impact of social sterotypes on cohesion. In the most recent installations, work included opportunites for audience participation as visitors were invited to mark and claim the work themselves, as well as engage with elements of interactive technology to manipulate the projections.Though practice has now shifted to the facilitation of interactions directly within urban environments, this series of installations was a fundamental development process and remains as an important body of research which still informs current projects.
