An absolute dream of a set to create - the home of a nineteen year old drummer girl slumming it in a fucked-up fairytale of a space in the working class suburb of South Birmingham. Inspired in equal parts by the colours & textures of Robert Polidori's Havana series and each and every shady student house I frequented during my youth in the 90s.

Steven Knight's female characters are unfailingly written as powerful and complicated women working of their own volition, and Matty was no exception - an intriguingly multi-faceted character that was an absolute pleasure to draw out through a palimpsest of skip finds, antique textiles, vintage furniture and repurposed objects.

Particular praise goes to Daniel Pickles, a long-time pal and now frequent collaborator of mine who added incredible graffiti in-situ directly onto the walls and also directly on the furniture and additionally loaned me several of his loose-leaf drawings and sketchbooks to use as dressing. All the other incredible graphics were supplied by the amazing Chris Aldom and his terrific team.
