Artists Studios

Stairs



Example of a Heavy type of stair that I used for inspiration for my concrete stair

Sketch Sections

Final Model

As you can see, I have applied my 'Ripple' custom texture onto the large concrete column, I thought that it was a great conflictual texture, something so large and strong such as concrete, to be textured in a material seen as soft and peaceful.

You can see here that i have textured Goodwin's stair well with my 'Bubble' Texture. I followed the idea of conflicting properties as with the ripple texture. Goodwin's Artwork I chose is very linear, in your face and mechanical so bubbles conflicts with these ideas and makes for a nice stair to walk down.


Because the artists studios are seperate I thought it to be a good idea to keep their exhibition spaces seperate also.
