Researching different cathedrals etc for interior class. Hoping to get ideas for my design. My theme for this class is gothic architecture. I like the look of this, mainly because the detail they use, from the windows to the beams. It creates interest, rather than just a boring flat roof etc. Very effective how the poles in the middle give an illusion of a wall…

Steve Ma Ching.A tattoo artist who specialises in Polynesian designs. Im really into polynesian art/tattoos.

The shapes and forms of his art is beautiful.

Above the same series but I have colour copied it in red aswell. Using red to express anger,as the sketch is called Conflict. These images show that there are struggles between someone?. It could be an internal conflict (within onself) or that it is an external (between two).

I was just experimenting what it would look like if I were to mix the red and white images together.

More work produced in the photocopying workshop. Here I built this image by photocopying about 5 different images from magazines and using coloured paper to colour copy each image. So each image would have 4 different coloured copies. With the coloured copies it was time to be RANDOM! and this was the outcome of one of my collages.
