SPANISHISH WOMAN AT TAXI RANK
LEEDS PRINT SERIES 2020/2021
Going into the train station. Scene from outside the train station. A man on the is walking into the station. (Left) The line suggests him as a regular inter city commuter.
The Spanish woman appears against a typical looking Yorkshire italianate façade (1860/70s) found around Boar lane, near the station. (Right) Cultural interrelations like these are symbolised in pattern, depicting the Leeds I experience. Taxi rank (center). At the heart of the Metro commuter network in West Yorkshire, going to Manchester Victoria station takes under an hour, and you can get to London Kings Cross every 30 minutes.
BRIGGATE, AN ANTIQUE PLACEMENT”
LEEDS PRINT SERIES 2020/2021
Continuing to update LEEDS whilst doing MANCHESTER
(Still living in Leeds right now)
This print is of BRIGGATE, one of the main pedestrianised shopping streets. Used to be the high street.
(19th and early 20th century dates for this area)
Fairs and markets were integral set ups on Briggate during dates listed, and I wanted to express this jumble and exchange these buildings were around.
The roofs and facades look ANTIQUE amongst the contemporary shopping center , Trinity, and modern architecture- like walking through a market of all sorts. The oldest building in the city is here also. Have more of this area coming,
" THE ADVENTURE WALL , BRADFORD “
LEEDS PRINT SERIES 2020/2021 *Additions 2022
With work, we went outside of Leeds to BRADFORD. It’s park was done up -council and locals re vamping it- earlier last year: The Big Swing Adventure Playground . An adventurous community project with some small funding. Wooden sheds, tires and wheelie bins for a go cart. The climbing wall was cool to see in there.
A diversity in BRADFORD big swing adventure park was inviting; Football, climbing, swings, Trim trails, playframes and people. So nice to be around.

These are climbing wall prints. All of the BIG SWING ADVENTURE PARK, BRADFORD.
I liked the journey ad sense of apprehension that surrounded the climbing wall. Its such a feature, and the playground rebounds this excitement and activity. I try to express the community and individuals getting together at the time.

Really liked the “Go, You’ve got this” sound around the next climbers wait. The apprehension of the climber - no affirmation or denying, just conscious of the decision to climb.

SNOOKER GAMES
In the pubs in Leeds pool games happen everywhere there are tables. I’m not a SNOOKER player, but the contrast in my work colour wise, expressed the “one side, and the other side” matches of any sports have- contrasting stripes like apprehension and excitement. A cool time
