Fixtures and Fittings || Sketching and Tracing

After photographing my structures, I sketched them. I used different methods to do so, such as continuous line, which produced a range of different image styles. Though the sketches were not very good, they came in handy for the next part. They lacked accuracy but when I traced certain elements of them it created quite abstract forms that were more interesting than the original structure itself.

In tracing the drawings and photographs, I was trying to see what new forms would emerge. The results were wildly different from the originals, which allowed ideas to begin to develop as to what I would create as a result of the project. I turned each trace into something, producing a range of architecture, objects, animals and wearables.

It was fun to turn things I did not like into quite crazy objects, creatures and forms. If I were to do this again I would spend longer on my sketches, and perhaps try out some different media. The drawings are not of very good quality and appear rushed. However, I don't think this impacted my later results when tracing them.
