My current body of work, called Toronto Gothic, is a memorial for my father and an homage to Toronto’s rich collection of Gothic Revival architecture. My dad was a draftsman, and to keep his spirit close to me I’ve been learning manual drafting methods and applying them toward drawing images of Gothic Revival buildings in the city from angles they’ve not been photographed from and without any obstructions to the view. I detail them in ink with the objective of achieving as much realism as possible.
