i've attached the few images that i really like and explain to you why i love this so much. This first image just popped out at me... i think its the colours... and the perspectival geometries!!!! all of which are what i envision all the time...
then i saw this second image!!! and i just went "ahhhhh!"... the contrast of the blue and orange/red... its just stunning!!! i was just speechless... i think somehow it just evokes all those internal feelings in me... those of you who have seen my work.. would probably feel that energy.. (or perhaps only i would get it).. but the strong contrast.. light and shadow.. simplicity of geometry... need i say more?
and then this bottom model just says it all to me... i'm not sure it would speak to all of you who don't imagine geometries the same way i do.. or understand the nature of perspectives.. but these combination of cubic forms.. and triangular prisms just says it all.. it reminds me of a model i made back in second year.. a project for a house design within a rectangular pit... i had massed out 3 triangular prisms that intersect into each other, creating a similar idea to the one below...
of course.. i was so young then.. i had not realized the full potential of the massing study... and didn't even end up using those ideas... but it was one of those "discarded" ideas i always kept at the back of my mind... i knew it would always come back to plague me... and so it DOES... hahai hope i still have some images of that model i made... don't u just miss those undergrad days?.. studio life?.. when the mind is free to imagine...
