Exploring a site-specific work for the architectural fabric of their Norman Foster-designed spaces, Contemporary Art Society Consultancy commissioned artist Diann Bauer to create a massive drawing work to be hung in the circular stairwell.

The piece, featuring Diann’s graphic conflation of warriors, sexuality and cartoon imagery is a powerful and thought-provoking statement for the company.
