The main illustration was hand drawn, and then enhanced using Photoshop and Illustrator to add colour and text.

The ‘Home Sweet Home’ exhibition at the Public Building, West Bromwich included visual and written messages, narratives and illustrations presented on items of clothing, which were pegged on a washing line against a fictitious garden backdrop. The artwork was accompanied by audio of males that live and work in the borough taking a stand against domestic abuse.

‘Home Sweet Home’ was an exhibition that aimed to give a public voice to local people who have lived through domestic abuse.
