Large drawing of the Anish Kapoor Olympic Sculpture - The ArcelorMittal Orbit. Drawn from sketches done on location over a twelve month period. The large piece 224 x 150cms is the latest in my Olympic series. My studio is only a couple of minutes from the Olympic Park and I could see this Tower growing daily. It is not meant to be from one specific moment, but from ideas over the year-long period. It's almost like a video diary of the project. This work focuses on several stages of the final piece of the loop being lifted into place
