​In Arabian Nights
(Featured in Vogue magazine)

​Off the Map
(Featured in The People's History Museum in Manchester)


55cm x 55cm

This charismatic and inspiring freehand piece contains many little pictures and patterns to be discovered. It encourages people to think outside the box and travel ‘off the map’, away from the usual tourist sites, towards searching for languages and rare flowers, and onwards to explore physically and mentally. In the centre are origami maps, which have people’s ‘off the map’ experiences hidden inside them.

Ink and maps. Framed in a box frame.
