Studio 1 - Three things

My best piece of creative work, a great piece of architecture and something beautiful.

Creative work: My rendition of Piranesi's Carceri Plate VI, using an ink wash and a 0.2mm Tikky Graphic pen.

This is a rendition of one of a series of etchings by artist Giovanni Piranesi. Carceri depicts a fictituous, atmospheric and incredibly labyrinthian prison, drawing the onlooker with it's monumental scale. What's interesting about this work is that it is literally impossible to recreate the Carceri in real life, or even make a floor plan. This is because the etchings are filled with distortions and logical fallacies, which is also what makes the works so engaging - it invites the onlooker to mentally reconstruct the artwork.

A great piece of Architecture: The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, Netherlands.

This building serves as a museum for Dutch audio-visual media. The simple cubic design of the building shell helps to hide the intricate and multi-faceted layout inside, but still hints towards it with the LED screens covering the outside of the building. It's reserved on the outside but vibrant and exciting on the inside.

Something Beautiful: This photograph from Carols in the Domain 2012

I took this back when I was playing around with my new camera. It was fun learning how to take night photographs properly without resorting to flash, and once I got the hang of it out came this. I think it captured the beauty of the sea of candles quite well.
