This latest selection of drawings focus on site work conducted in London and Berlin. The first stage of this process aims to notate raw data in new and foreign sites;



 


in the second phase this data is then repeated and reworked in order to add to larger drawings therefore acting as visual building blocks in order to explore notions of composition.



 

 

Surveillance, voyeurism and multiple viewpoints are utilized in order to obtain and generate large-scale drawings that act as a visual mapping system where the pictorial replaces the textual as a system of sign posting. Graphic depictions substitute place names in order to



 

 

resist and subvert the designation of given signifiers by hegemonic forces that seek to control and police the population through measures of classification and the use of place names.


 

 



Within these drawings a chain of signification and re-representation is acted upon in order to highlight or accentuate the urban space as a site of resistance where the social,  



 

 

ideological and the political are challenged and superseded. Given that the origins of language are pictorial Yeates aims to re-instate and re-establish the image as a signifier of geographic location.
