Except how it's best to present the work...shelves? or Pins.
Going to give both a go and see which suits best. I feels pins would fit quite well with the theme but they are not the most practical.

Toby Paterson's interest in line, form and structure grew out of skate boarding around defunct concrete buildings. He works in a variety of forms, from large-scale architectural wall paintings and sculptural assemblages to small paintings on Perspex, informed by post-war architecture, the St Ives School of Modernists (in particular Victor Pasmore and Ben Nicholson) and the pragmatic approach of the British Constructivists. Paterson's understanding of architectural structures is heightened by his interest in skateboarding, experiencing cities and buildings as micro-spaces to navigate, viewed as a series of surfaces to isolate and present in his paintings. The examples of Modernist architecture Paterson references can be seen to be elevated to an iconic status translating complex motifs from the lost dreams of post-war modernism into an aesthetic and social enquiry

first began their still-ongoing project of systematically photographing industrial structures – water towers, blast furnaces, gas tanks, mine heads, grain elevators and the like –in the late 1950s.1 The seemingly objective and scientific character of their project was in part a polemical return to the 'straight' aesthetics and social themes of the 1920s and 1930s in response to the gooey and sentimental subjectivist photographic aesthetics that arose in the early post-war period.

TOBY PATERSON
Toby Paterson is an artist recommended to me by an artist i met at Leeds Book Fair, She two worked heavily with structures and form within an architectural theme.
Toby Paterson also works with structures throughout his work, he is an up and coming artist whom i feel will do great things. His work is fresh and approaches architecture within art in a whole new way.

Really interested in the work of these two artists.
They have a really original way of re-recording information. Producing work which is spontaneous and has quite a playful feel.
