This drawing takes in the area of Leith between Sandport Place and Coburg Street. The buildings have become a template for modern Leith changing the area to one of yellow and blue concrete towers and a jumble of windows and doors. It was these shapes and colours that interested me and the changes it has made to the ‘texture’ of the landscape.
