Some more MSA photos..

In order to get some inspiration for my paper work, I went around MSA taking photos of interesting shapes, from the new and old buildings. A couple of them seemed relevant to things I had already started to explore, for example the block rail for pattern cutting resembles the paper folding I tried earlier (see below). I like the effect of multiple semi transparent layers, the delicacy and haphazard arrangement work well.

Some other photos would make a good basis for paper folding, as they have an obvious linear quality and are attractive.

 

 

I also then looked at repeated arrangements of shapes and objects; I aim to produce 175 paper models of some kind, and they will need to be arranged in such a way that they relate to each other and look like a collection.

 
 

Every time I walk through All Saints Park on my way in to MMU I see a pair of pigeons; there will always have been birds flying around here, spanning the decades since the art school was built. Incorporating them into my work somehow would give it a timeless feel, which is appropriate for an anniversary celebration which aims to remind us of the past while looking into the future.
