I am an artist and architectural designer based in Margate, working under the name l-0, derived from the Cyrillic letter Ю (pronounced ‘Yu’). I hold an MA in Architecture and Urbanism from London Metropolitan University, and my practice spans ceramics, painting and printmaking.
My work explores the concept of Naïve Archaeology, viewing surfaces, architectural details and fragments of everyday life as layers of time and meaning. It draws on an interest in how familiar objects, places and images move between reality and imagination, transforming through associations and recollections. Traces of human presence and the marks left by time become starting points for imagined compositions.
