May 2010, meaning only a month and a half-give or take a fews weeks or so- left being a student in Edinburgh College of Art. A Painting student in Edinburgh College of Art.

As well as being a very im portant time( results on wednesday!!!!!!!) its also a very xciting time, with the Degree Show only few weeks away, where the work of the last year is on display for the world to see. And my work is a little something like this:

Architectural and structural environments are the basis of my research . As well as the actual structures found within these spaces, it is the spaces in-between, the negatives, that are of equal importance to the work as it is these spaces that allow you as a viewer to observe and make non existent structures into reality. The act of looking through these spaces from where a structure ends to where the next one begins is a step towards creating a construction within these spaces, as this gaze from one to another is drawing a line, a line that cannot be seen yet has the ability to cut through multiple angles and planes within the space and not be constrained by gravitational laws.
Direction and movement through built up environments is controlled and dictated by line. Linear paths lead through cities and structures, and as the direction and angles of the these change, simultaneously the perspective and depth of built up environments change and alter constantly.
It is therefore the direction and position of line within constructed environments that is the main area of focus and the works are an exploration of this line, where the unseen line drawn out by the act of looking and movement, and actual physical structures are merged together to create architectural and structural environments with exaggerated perspectives and multiple planes and angles in the space, that allow the viewer themselves to draw within the negative spaces of the constructions by the act of looking. They\are a physical presence and interpretation of the linear structures that are created in architectural, built up environments as well as the spaces that’s these structures create.

All the images found within neon cubed visualize these ideas -beware of bold, fluorescent, bright colours, sharp stuctures, and pointed edges!!!
