Model-making stage

For last 2 weeks I was playing with paper. I started with simple forms and then looked at Origami and ways of creating patterns on paper by folding it. Here are some of my results (Let me know what you think about them) I was also researching designs inspired by Origami and there is lot of reference in architecture and furniture design but also in ceramics :)  here are some cool examples   and ceramic ones .

Sketchbook

As I said in my previous post I have been working in my sketchbook for a week now and have some nice things going on. I am concentrating on straight lines and ways to break them with messy ones. I started with trees. Trees making patterns and trees with straight lines. Architectural details. Shadows. Different marks for branches. Collage for the shadows.

New Project :)

After the assessments we were given 2 choices: continue with first project but bring more depth to it or start fresh.... I decided that I need a break so new project it is! I knew it was a good decision as soon as I started my research :) My main sources this time are trees and architecture - or to be more specific the patterns they create. I have to write my own brief soon which is quite interesting- it means that it will be my first MY project :) I have already started working in sketchbook and I like it very much - it's good to have a break from all that technical problems I was facing last semester. Here are some photos that inspired me :) It all started some time ago. I find the shapes of trees very appealing. When I took this photo a year ago I knew that I will use it one day as a source. Looking at trees in cities can be interesting. I think this image is quite strong and it sums up my main area of interest: order versus freedom.
