DescriptionInk drawing of a tile at Southampton Row.
I made this ink illustration based on some tiles I saw in the old Lethaby building where I used to have classes. At that time, we had just been informed that the Lethaby building would be sold off and redeveloped as a hotel, and that CSM would move to a new site at King's Cross. I wanted to record something from the building's interior that had become familiar to me over three years of study at CSM, and that I may never see again.
