I was generally quite confused at the start of this task, as I had no idea what to start with, with regards arrivals. It was also difficult because I had in my head wanted to do a continuation of sorts from my previous project, as I personally felt like I had not explored the ideas of Light and Shadow as much as I had wanted, but this hindered my start of the project as I worried about how it may link with the current Project X idea of Old School//New School. After a while being stuck I decided that this was pretty detrimental to the project, as I wasn't actually starting any work, so I decided to stick with one of my ideas and just go with it, and see where it took me.
That idea was the idea I had of looking at both the natural forms I found around Manchester but also the rigid, structural buildings that loom over your heads. I was interested in doing this, but wanted to make it something different and something more exciting, so I would like to look at distorting and deforming the images and drawings of city scapes using my skills from the digital manipulation workshop to create pattern. To create a more fluid and fictional representation of Manchester, with some respects working towards the forms that I found in branches and trees around. I wanted to use the new technologies of digital image manipulation and the buildings which some may find stark and brutal and ugly, to become something more fluid, ethereal and beautiful. I started by taking photos of around Manchester, so I could have some images to draw and work from.
