RECOGNITION
Illustration graduate whose work is mostly figurative. Recent explorations have involved synchronising pre-patterned surfaces (such as maps) with the structures and textures found within the human figure.
"Like a sculptor carving a subject from a block of stone, or a constellation highlighted in a clump of stars, Fairburn uses meticulous ink or pencil cross-hatching to create portraits hidden amongst the topographical features"
