Abstractions of Nature, basis for Excercise 6. One is a feminine curvilinear exploration of the rose, the other a masculine geometric exploration of that of the much darker bark. Contrast was what I was aiming for here.

An abstraction of the colour wheel. Clean lines here make up the wheel, a bow to the geometric leaning of Holl. I am trying to demonstrate here that geometry has influence over even the fundemental in Holls work; and thus, in mine.


My two explorations of Space, Holls Stair, NYU building. Note the contrasting light and dark tones, this is to enhance both pictures. These were the final products of excercise 6.

Photoshop collage. Clean and minimalist, much like Holls plans, this collage explores variance in tone as a back drop to a single colour. Many of Holls buildings explore this theme in a minimalist fashion. Also the use of textured pictures such as shiny images are reminiscent of Holls clean whites and brilliant silvers.

Face Map: Uses the colour palette to give a natural and yet entirely unnatural look to Holl's face, reminiscent something most of his buildings seem to do, look natural and yet ultramodern all at once.

The landscape. Using all the tones in the pallete, this landscape shows the many different things that can be shown via a single palette. Like Holl, a single colour is dominant (red in my case) that gives the piece direction.
The red gives way to the browns of the mountain, the dark pinks of the trees and the light pink sea. The red sky simply serves as a backdrop to more brilliant ideals.
