- Why did you create this work?
"City Farmers" is a project which attempts to show the relationship between people and nature based on my research on city farms in London. I created four types of illustrations as five or six colour screen prints about the history and principles of city farms. I researched their history and roots, then I combined their attractions and interests into drawing imaginary places. - How were your illustrations used?
