As I moved into color drawings of these cityscapes, more complex interpretations became possible. Sometimes, I suggested connections between the outside/inside by including some details of windows, radiators, or elements of objects in the interior. Usually these were as abstract as the exterior elements, to the extent that there was a virtually total deconstruction of the relationships between interior and exterior. These color cityscape drawings were executed on a much larger scale. The substrates chosen for all the City Scape series were deliberately medium-toothed surfaces, which forced the fuzzy abstraction of the myopic view. The larger scale cityscapes have more of a sense of immediacy, or confrontation with the place identity.
