Braithwaite is interested in objects which engage the viewer in a bodily way, these are large-scale works which are complex in design from the build-up of repetitions. The work is made from recycled concrete and is left with the bland, natural colour of the material. This helps to draw attention to the form itself: the influences of brutalist and minimal architecture can be seen but demonstrate form over function, something that art can consider when without architectural limitations. With a BA in sculpture and environmental art from The Glasgow School of Art, Braithwaite has won multiple awards for his work: RSS Gilbert Bayes Award 2018, Creative Edinburgh Award 2019 and Richard Coley Award 2020.
