Urban Influences Inspiration

I chose the Urban Influences brief as I love looking at subject matter, spacial and linear elements. In order to gather inspiration I went into the centre of Manchester to source images and observe the built up areas. At first I really struggled to find inspiration from the images I took, but then the more I researched I realised I was interested in extracting shape from buildings and combining this with the movement throughout the city and influence of people.

I chose to edit the images I took; I’m really interested at looking into the detail of shape in quite a muted way and creating patterns. The result of this keeps my research quite linear and abstract.
In order to now develop my work further so I can start to draw & knit I need find my colour palette and to also look contextually at artist/designers that will inspire me.
