The exhibition is the result of a year-long body of research collated from Daniel's drawing trips across Europe. By looking beyond the surface decoration of of urban architecture in cities such as Hamburg and Marseille, he's created a series of modernist-inspired works where the lines and grids of architecture becomes pattern.
