Summer Project post 1.

David Ogle.

I was very inspired after attending a talk by David Ogle due to his interesting ways of developing his art installations from his drawings, but also his drawing technique. I particularly like the way his drawings are mostly repetitive, and are focused on quality of line and shape but also composition and are done in . For me, drawing is highly important in the way I work, as I like to transfer my use of line, shape, space and composition into the sampling I do in textiles or final piece. Ogles installations are site responsive which is also something that I could see myself doing in future exhibitions or final pieces, as I like the idea of my final piece being influenced by the surroundings and not purely my sampling and drawings. This interest came after my last unit of work for unit x, when I hung drawings in an old office space, which meant I had to respond and work with the space that I was given.

Degree Show.

Visiting the degree show was a fantastic opportunity and also very inspiring seeing the different types of context and outcomes that comes from students not only on the textile course, but a range of creative courses. I always seem to be drawn and inspired by more art or craft type work rather than fashion or interior, and I think that this will be the path I'll go down in terms of my own work, producing one off pieces. 

Claude Parent exhibiton at the Tate Liverpool.

The way Parent transformed this exhibition space in the Tate gallery into a room filled with different shapes, angles, and edges allowing the audience to experience a gallery in a completely  different way than they usually would really grabbed my attention. As a textiles student I find the work of architects really intriguing, which I think is why I found this exhibition so interesting. I also took to looking at some of Parents other work, and I also love his drawing work of his architecture plans, as I found a likeness to my own drawings that I've been doing over summer.

Berlin-

architecture

I think getting the chance to travel to Berlin this summer has definitely given me the most inspiration in terms of my summer project and drawing work. It was the amazing different scales, shapes, age and style of the buildings that swarmed the city that really inspired my work and thoughts for the project. As I learnt in unit x, I am very interested in creating line, shape, space and layers in my practice- both in drawing and in any final outcome I may produce. So getting this chance to see so much different architecture was a great opportunity.

Jewish Museum Berlin.

The whole design of the architecture of the Judaism Museum in Berlin by the architect Daniel Liebeskind is beautiful and so powerful in holding much meaning for Judaism. On arrival to the museum there is a statement from Liebeskind explaining the way that he wanted to create the building so that it contained "void" areas which where empty and dark and not used in the gallery and also the way in which he wanted to leave the architecture of the building and the idea behind it to be thought of and interpreted by the viewer, rather than it being explained which I think is a really nice concept. 

Overall I was attracted to the planning of space and the lines made through this building both inside and outside, and also the way in which the structure created certain points of light in different areas which created certain emotions and feelings from the audience.
