North light building reflections

This is a set of three small painted-paper collages I made to record the colours and shapes I saw in the glass facade of a building in Glasgow early one November morning. I've tried to capture the colours and textures by using a combination of flat gouache, metallic acrylic paint and pearlescent inks.







Large scale collage and development ideas

This is my largest collage to date (just over A3) and it took nearly 5 full days to complete. The black and white drawing is the start of my design development and the red/blue repeat at the bottom is my first attempt at creating a repeat.




Copenhagen transparent window series

I created these 3 repeats using letraset safmat and my inkjet printer. Each block is a collage of different tones layered on top of one another. My source photo (from my trip to Copenhagen in March 2008) is at the bottom.
