The pencil sketches on paper do not reproduce very clearly in these digital photographs. More advanced versions of the same works will be uploaded shortly.

The sketch diagram above shows how the four panels (two can be seen) fit together to make the walls of the room. Entry and exit is by way of a door cut in the "Aftermath" panel.

The computer simulation (1) is to give a general idea, is not to scale, and the images are out of sequence.

Computer simulation (2) is slightly more accurate and shows the images (in sketch form) in relation to each other. "The Aftermath" shows the door through which viewers enter and exit.

Clicking each of the thumbnails above will take you to a higher-resolution version of each image.
