Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1992
Floating City
This print looks southwest towards the Isle of Dogs from the seventh floor of Newham College of Further Education in East Ham, where the artist taught printmaking until June 2000. Silhouetted rooftops and buildings appear to float on the skyline. Several buildings can be identified, including Canada Tower on Canary Wharf and the twenty-seven-storey Balfron Tower residential block in Poplar. A founder and member of East London Printmakers, Brooke has enjoyed the print making process since she 'first pulled a squeegee across a screen and marvelled at that glorious expanse of colour'.
