Tomas Saraceno

Hi guys I really like the work of Tomas Saraceno, I like how these shapes link in to our work of Germs.



 The above image is something that I would like to incorporate in my own personal work.

Some germ ideas



Here are some germs that I have created via photo shop. I will be using them further in my work when progressing.

I Heart Chaos — The year 2000 as envisioned in the year 1910
I thought this was a good little thing to look at, since we are learning about how history has made Manchester what it is now. It is an artists' impression from 1910 of what the year 2000 would look like!

just an idea...

Hear is a very quick drawing I did from my minds eye. I just wanted to put down on paper something I had in mind for our final outcome. so this is a simple garment but mainly made from draped fabric. It would be lovely if lots of drape like things were made and hung in sequence to give a dense space, that could be walked through and partially tried on by the viewer to make there experience interactive, helping them learn more. It would be nice if the generous amounts of fabric were printed and embroidered with the visual materials you have all been looking at, i.e maps. I think it would be helpful if the rest of the group could also draw any ideas they have in mind regarding our outcome.

Germs living in the Finger print lines


When looking at finger prints I felt that I should also look at the germs living in them. I think I will be working on the germs more.

figure ground maps

When at a lecture last week given by guest lecturer and architect Emily Crompton I learnt of figure ground maps. This technique of drawing shows how densely built up somewhere is as the buildings are all filled in black. This is the practical use of figure ground diagrams however I find them excellent  visual stimulus as well as informative.
