An exploration and response to the architectural works of Frank Lloyd Wright, dissected into abstract, geometric and unrealistic designs. Separated and juxtaposed into my own ideas on contemporary urban building. Creating extreme and unlivable spaces floating in a two dimensional form.
Modern architecture gained popularity after the second World War. It is the simplification of form and structure.
The work 'Taliesin', has been layered in two ways creating two separate styles of three dimensional imagery within a two dimensional space. The geometric structures share similarities with shapes from such works as 'Waterfall' by Frank Lloyd Wright and also buildings that I have created in a three-dimensional computer environment that have and will never exist. This relationship of the believable and unbelievable working together is what makes these works intriguing.
The media chosen for these works are graphite pencil, coloured pencil, acrylic, pen, conti, drafting film and perspex. Having a background of mixed race and culture has always encouraged my strong interest in the history of architecture, its destruction and its morph into extreme modernism.
