An Invention uses the styles of war artists and others in the period, often making direct reference to particular works by Nevinson, Bomberg, Wadsworth, Lewis, Singer Sargent and others.

Baker has used a different technique for this set of pages, making initial structural marks on the page and identifying the text physically, then transferring the work to digital to build up layers of collage, painting and drawing using a tablet. Reference materials have been drawn from across North Wales, including Llangollen, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Dolgellau and Criccieth. The story that emerges is a Gothic tale of a small North Wales town, a lawyer and his brother, a will and a suspected murder."}]
