I think the artist is trying to observe a place and express the mood of the place also exaggerate he surroundings, The reason I think this is because of what I see of the 'tomato skyscraper' piece of art. I think the artist worked from observation because it was a trip to New York also to record  a journey through the streets of New York, recorded in a typographic map. The work makes me question what is going on at the scene and why has the artist done this? You cannot read a lot of it and doesn't make much sense maybe this is the effect they wanted to cause. The artists use of colour is very dull as it is monochrome this suggests that it maybe quite boring? I like this work because it relates a lot to psychogeography.
