Here's my twelfth 'Untitled (Constructed City)' painting.  The deep involvement with all things yellow continues, whilst the greater layered complexity and overlapping meshes of '11', is pushed further still.  Whilst this is largely the result of a more improvisational approach, the digitally pre-determined (and serially recycled) motifs of earlier iterations, still float across the surface.

To my mind, much of the satisfying tension in these images stems from these nominally foreground elements being derived from shards of negative space in the source construction site images.  This feels magnified as the illusion of pictorial space deepens behind them.
