MACE construction team for Royal Bank of Scotland, the completed clay relief. I had a desk in this office so spent a lot of time photographing & sketching the people. Images of people at work, at their desks, the way they made calls, used their computers to help capture the atmosphere of a typical day in the office. As there are over 60 characters it appears a fairly squashed office, the desks & chairs have been used as a way of dividing the space. For finished painted version see 'Construction Projects' in this website.
