Pattern Study

Through my experience of ink and bleach for the black and white collection, I have created patterns with the use of same materials to overlay them into the marble samples, then edited them with Photoshop and Illustrator

-The idea of digital print is inspired b the fashion designer Alexander McQueen spring collection 2010 “Sea Monsters”

I used electric tape again in this art work as a development. This time using a section from one of my photographs of The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. I wanted to refine and develop the technique. I felt this particular photograph captured the complexity of the interior and exterior spaces in this fantastic building.

I experimented by using black etching ink and white acrylic paint. The drawing shows very strong shapes and texture. I have added layers in some of the pieces to enhance some spaces.

Materials:

- Gold Leaf

- Cellophane

- Watercolour

I produced a series of relief collages. I wanted to used gold leaf as if a light was shining through the interior. I think it worked well giving a clear contrast with the black relief of the foreground, which helped to create a sense of depth. I also used cellophane with different colours to create windows. I really like the translucent element and hoe the interior layers could still be viewed.

I began experimenting with Isometric paper, creating imagined spaces. However, I didn’t feel it was helping me move on toward my final, but then I decided to use the isometric grid to draw a section of one of my own photographs. I then scanned it and enhanced the levels of it to create a strong graphic image. I player around symmetry and repetition.

I copied the drawing on to different surfaces and painted in some ares. I cut holes and folded trying to work out how to progress the ideas forward. Experimenting with layering again.

After exploring many different techniques, my aim was to combine some materials and layers to produce a more finished piece. I created many layers of prints from my isometric drawing on the tissue paper. I used wallpaper glue as a first layer then placed the tissue paper carefully on top of it, this created a wrinkled texture. Then I used black charcoal to enhance the tone of the cuboid structures. I am fascinated by the effect the acetone gave, how it breaks down some parts of the drawings to give an interesting texture. Finally, I tidied up areas of the drawing using white acrylic.

I took some photographs of the greenhouse I visited with my family, I decided to edit them using photoshop and create different layers and tones, then overlap them. This was to further explore what I found fascinating in the original images

Later, I took photographs of the greenhouse next to my house. I was inspired by the reflection of the sun on, and through, the sheets covering the greenhouse and how it shows both the interior and exterior through the sheets. I found these photographs beautiful and I though of how this idea could inspire my project.

Using the technique of transferring the image using acetone on tissue paper. I also added Indian ink, and then another layer of acetone and so on.
