'The Island' by Stephen Walter
Description
Stephen Walter explains the inspiration behind his drawing âThe Islandâ. He explains that his hand drawn map of London is a comment on the capitalâs contradiction, chaos and intricacies. He decided to represent the city as an island as a wry joke on Londonâs self-importance and the way Britain identifies itself as an island nation.
