I had the photo of the Mackintosh neon sign for some time and I had long wanted to use it. On one of my walks during lockdown, I came across the statue of Charle Rennie Macintosh, a renowned Glasgow architect, and both images fit together well.

My favourite part of this piece is the way the neon letters of the word ‘Mackintosh’ weave in and out of the frame. I often find that suggesting or concealing aspects of a piece can create a more compelling impact than simply revealing the whole subject.
