Alexis Butterfield is an architectural designer and advocate for the creation of sustainable new neighbourhoods and the conservation of existing ones.

Based in Liverpool in the North West of England, his artworks chronicle the life and death of a place through its buildings. Creeping nightfall, change, decay, and loss of memory are faithfully recorded. So too is the visual power and latent potential such spaces offer if only they were better cared for and valued - not just as objects, but as places.

Our most vulnerable historic places are changing fast, so the drawing work is done with a spirit of urgency. A technique of rapid graphic drawing using pen, crayons, and inks is used. This is frequently combined with heightened lighting effects and abstracted layers of collage to create dramatic and memorable artworks.

Each artwork comes subtitled with its 'What Three Words' location, underlining the focus on place as a public good.
