Paul Noble’s intricate graphite drawings describe Nobson Newtown, a place composed of labyrinthine edifices and deserted topography embedded with modules of dense detail. The bricks of Noble’s metropolis are a three-dimensional alphabet. The letters form structures like ‘Nobspital’ (a hospital) and ‘Welcome to Nobson’ (a monument): the observant viewer can literally read the metropolis. See also: Palatial Examples.
