Feels like it's been the hottest summer in a while. Have been hiding away somewhat experimenting, planning and scheming.
I set up a little gallery/office in Square Street, Central, Hong Kong and there the Future Industries team have been strategizing and researching as we work towards a number of huge HK based projects. Always a challenge in HK to work outside of little white cubes.
I'm slowly sweating my way through ideas, making mistakes, bouncing between formality and abstraction...and doing a lot of drawings. These are all around 1.5m sq or bigger.
