STUDIO EXPERIMENTATION

These are photographs of my experimentation in the studio space based on point perspective and mark making. Using the squeegee through mark making I fount quite successful to relate to construction, correspondence and balance. To put simply when you create marks with a corner of a squeegee it then corresponds in the opposite direction. I fount this an interesting connation to relate back to architecture as the way a building is constructed.

Gary Annett-

Gary Annett was also one of my main inspirations for my FMP. What I fount most interesting about Annett was how he took photographs and the life he gives to an image. He is such an amazing photographer and his work is what brought me to realisation  to what I wanted to achieve in my photographs. To give meaning. But the way I interpreted this is that its not so much about how you take a photograph but its then what you do with it. Clearly its important to have the eye for a photography but the way he edits his photographs is to highlight and shadow the images. I then began to edit my photographs and discovered my own flare and style through architectural photography.

Unknown Artist-

 

These photographs I fount from when visited Art14 art fair back in Febuary, also inspired me to continue using monochrome photograph. I feel it creates more definition to a image.

 

 

 

 

 

CHALLENGING DISILLUSION.

When I first decided to base my FMP on architecture I merely did this because I was good at drawing buildings not because I saw the art in designing a building. I thought I had discovered that it wasn't as interesting as other areas of Fine Art I could have explored. I began to feel quite disheartened by my choice but I then began to challenged myself to think differently. This compilation of photographs were created on the basis of challenging disillusion. What I mean by this is to give every building the justice its disserved. During my FMP I studied 'deselecting' and 'structure'. At the time I didn't quite understand my own work and responses, but by looking more deeply into what I was trying to understand came these photographs. These photographs are an extension to this idea and let me explain more clearly.

 I wanted to look at architecture in a more contemporary way and how building could be express through fine art. Rather than simply looking at architecture as a design or drawing I became more interested in the history of a building or lack of. (SEE PREVIOUS POSTS) . I think all buildings have their own character and by editing these photographs the way I have. I think gives the sense of humanising a building by giving it movement. By doing this I gave life to an animate object, by doing this gave me the ability to connect more with the brief . I wanted to give these simple photographs more conceptual meaning.  Each building holds its own timeline and by distorting the images the way I have I think gives the sense that they can move through time in more ways than one.

Antonio Sant’Elia.

 

Sant'Elia is renownly known for his futuristic drawings and he has become a huge part of my inspiration throughout my FMP. What mainly drew me towards Sant'Elia is that the fact he doesn't work from reference in terms of style of architecture. All his work is monochrome and I think that's a aspect of how he identifies his personal style. I also carried this through majority of my own responses. I also noticed his tendancy to encorptrite these tall powerplant-like towers  in his art work. This I feel almost gives a quite morbid concept.

 

 

ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING PROJECTION

 

I based my Final Major Project around Architecture. I began to experiment with video art using basic video editing software such as Vemo and Windows Movie Maker. This is a video recording of a projection drawing I did on to acetate. I fount by projecting the image then gave me the ability to move the image in relation to the angles on the wall (corner of the room) and how this changed the image in terms of point perspective. Through my research I fount when drawing and designing buildings the point perspective is really important. In my opinion it is the most important skill to have as an architect to be able to draw buildings accurately. The acetate print was photocopied from one of my drawings. I have studied a history of different types of architecture and in this print I designed a combination of 'Futuristic' architecture and 'Renaissance'. I will be posting photographs of images that have inspired me and I hope that they could inspired you.

VISIT TO TATE MODERN

While visiting Tate Modern I got to see Cy Twombly's work in person, seriously overwhelming. I didn't expect them to be as large as they were. Great day out, sorry for the low quality. Everything was taken on my phone.
