continouse ink paintings

Experimenting with the idea of layering and working into the photographs i had taken earlier on in my project.

 i also accidently printed all the photos in black and white, but i find that i prefer the black and white versions to the colour giving it a grittier effect. 

with the ink i was attempting to drawing from other photos without taking the paint off the page dripping a continuous line creating many type of marks and shapes. 

Abstract photography..

Using reflective surface to capture the city.. I want to try this out!

Surfaces, texture, and manchester

'WHAT SHOULD THE SURFACE OF OUR CITIES LOOK LIKE?'

this line caught my attention and made me thinking about how we affect our cities how we create the textures allow abandoned buildings to overgrow and create different types of textures and characters in our cities.

'The surface of future cities is a multicolored texture formed by its people.'

i really enjoyed the idea of how we can shape and mould our city and this is demonstrated so much in manchester with parts that are completely derelict and other parts full of life with eye catching graffiti and small reflections of residents characters shown on every street corner.

if europe was on one big map.. (david adjaye)

I wanted to start looking into the textures and marks manchester creates, and while research i found the work of David Adjaye, who's work shows a large map combining all the cities in europe looking into the lines and textures create by these different maps...
