Induction again!!!!

More work in my sketchbook has made me look into the London skyline and the buildings that encompass it. The shapes of some of them remind me of origami or folded paper. The structure is hard yet beautiful. I took some photo's whilst in London of the various building and was very interested in the way some looked like pleated fabrics in the skirt of a ball gown.


I also liked the way some of the buildings had scaffolding on them adding to the lines created like a column in the middle, lets say a bias cut dress, tight and narrow, with a layer of scaffolding added as a layer over the top, like a cage, which also reminded me of a Jean-Paul Gaultier dress from Haute Couture Fall 08/09

Loving the idea of the structure being a single layer. A cage that surrounds the wearer, to protect or to hold inside????

The Saffold 2003 Steven Kenny

This reminds me of the artist Steven Kenny http://www.stevenkenny.com His work has both a protection and safe guard feeling. The artist seems to paint his objects as if they are vulnerable yet there is something about them that makes you lightly fearful. This in itself give the paintings a primitive beauty yet a carnival of darkness awe.

Maybe use elements of this idea within my design development. But not compromising the beauty within the awe.
