Untitled (Abstract #4) - Final Version

Here is the final version of a painting I did for my final design project at university.  It's a piece based on the site we were given for the project.  It was a place that had a lot of trees across the landscape, providing a canopy with tiny gaps that would open up to show the clear sky.  I've tried to capture some of what I saw here.  

The project later became about the way previous structures had marked the landscape.  I looked at boundaries, walls and the lines of buildings that had previously scarred the earth.  I think with this piece I had preempted this concept with my use of paint - I gouged lines into the blue paint and created layers over the top with the green and brown paint.  So, even without realising it, it became a good metaphor for the rest of the project.

Untitled (Abstract #3) - Drip Painting

This is a watercolour painting expressing the concept for the design of a youth theatre I'd done for my architecture degree.  The pictures show it on display at the exhibition for my degree show in 2012.
