Trying to get some inspiration from 'EVOL' I mentioned in a previous artist spotlight but I really think at first glance you could mistake the first texture for a wall possibly, and thats why I choose to include these in this volume. Theres alot of features happening including the light forming shadow and distinctive lines and also bits of moss and greenery, very light greens too. Theres a variety of sections which make up the body of this tree which again, makes me think twice when I study it and for an actual tree, the body is quite smooth in the majority of places.
Back to the more urban look, Dirt is also an interesting medium, the clean sticker above the dirt really makes it pop out and have the feeling of 'new purpose', stickers also leave really great/annoying to most marks on other materials which is another idea for my ever expanding range of processes. There is also a very very faded sticker towards to lower right which has this sense of use and age.
Whilst being in a car park staircase, one of the few places I've ever dared to tread, make for some grungy and atmospheric pictures but since the sun was out, it felt more like an isolated atmosphere than a spooky one. The mixture of cobwebs and lack of having a proper good cleaning mean't this time round I wasn't really looking for textures or interesting image, but more around location. Pretty sure the lift would be out of order but if I get another chance to visit, I may take a journey inside, it appears strangely newer than its surroundings, the sign above offers some cool removed areas where it simply appears to have fallen off. The next image is more atmospheric with the blue light, the railings are very worn and even the rubber is missing in places, the odd mixture of yellow underneath tell the tale of possibly a more friendlier past since yellow is a nice bright colour, the blue kind of makes it more gloomy.
Same location, different area, this time its floors. Tried to make a few nice compositions with the number out to the side, why I did this was due to the texture of the wall especially in the first where there are alot of slight drippings. The second beheld that sticker quality where there was removal and additions and even peeling which again, is another nice, new technique.
Looking more closely at that blue light again, creating reflections upon the roof above. At the time, I considered the decay of light, how areas become darker, how the atmosphere changes and our feelings change which then led me to consider the decay within our own minds and thoughts, emotions and perspectives. Also the pattern of the light inside had quite a nice patter, unrelated to decay but I liked it anyway.
Finally, Closer look at that blue and yellow/removed rubber qualities, there is also a strong emboss feature where the rust appears to stand above the colours like some sort of infection. Another idea sprung to how decay takes over an objects, becomes more of a disease. The other image was also really unique in the fact it appears to be created by a pool of damp in the roof which has caused the ceiling to become moist and weaker, more vulnerable to being distorted and stretched. Possibly later on this will eventually become a hole as more liquid seeps out.
