A digitally modified abstract painting in portrait orientation. An oval shape sits on a background of radiating lines of various shades of grey and red. The oval is mostly black with a red tapering rim around its bottom half. Much of the black area of the oval is occupied by a green shape resembling a crescent moon. The ‘moon’ has a slight bulge in the middle of its concave side.

A monochrome photograph that has been modified to give it a yellow background. The top stories of a modern high-rise building can be seen beyond a motorway bridge. The bridge, and the buildings and trees around it, are more or less silhouetted against the yellow sky, as are a lamppost on the bridge and a wire extending across the sky in front of the high-rise building and the lamppost.
Abuin the brig.

A monochrome photograph. We are looking up a city street. Facing us is a single-deck bus, while on the opposite side of the street is a line of cars. Beyond the traffic is a modern hotel and beyond *that* is the Finnieston, or Stobcross, Cran(e) – a giant cantilever crane constructed in the earlier twentieth century.

A monochrome photograph two showing barriers. Over the top of these, in the background, can be seen a crane and the upper stories of buildings while in the foreground young people – dressed for summer – are drinking and socialising upstairs on a temporary ‘Innis & Gunn’ structure. On one of the barriers are the words ‘Enjoying a street show?’.
