Google Earth is my starting point to find interesting man-made patterns to use as subjects for my drawings. I choose airports, farms and sites relating to urban myths, conspiracies, military and governmental activities. These places allow me to delve into ideas such as nuclear weapons development and the war machine, terrorism, surveillance, paranoia, environmental decay and abandonment.
