Initial Sketches for digital manipulation

The basis for these drawings is to eventually recreate these images in illustrator. They will serve as a study of transitioning from physical to digital.

Manipulations

My ideas for manipulation come from the basic forms that were manipulated in the making of every day structures. Once they are broken down they give off even more of a post modern aesthetic. In these images I took an photo of this famous Dutch built building in China, and began to break it down. I came to isolate a form that I was particulary interested in and began to replicate/distort. From here I hope to achieve something new out of something old.

Gum Series - Alt Photo

This image was created by three black-gum layers. The initial image was drawn in illustrator amd can be seen in a previous post.

The second and third images were also drawn in illustrator as well, I should not forget to mention that all of these images were made with ink-jet negatives, bridging the gap between physical and digital.

Sculpture sketches

The image on the right is the form that I have decided to built. The aim for this piece is to achieve a relationship between 2-D and 3-D...somewhat of an optical illusion.
