Completed Studies: 'Techno 009 - 012'



'Techno Study 009', Mixed Media on Paper, 300 mm x 300 mm,  May 2021


Here are four more of my current run of 'Techno Studies'.  My listening preferences are broadening out again just now, after an extended period of relative austerity, but there are still enough pounding, repetitive beats to inspire a few more of these - I think.  In fact, given the resolutely 4:4 nature of both the imagery - and the sounds that have inspired it, the most logical thing would be to make this a series of sixteen...

Archi-Techno Excursion 001.3-exp: (Central Coventry, April 2021)

 


All Images: Digital Photo-Manipulation, June 2021



An evolving series of fairly rough-and-ready digital experiments - using source imagery collected on my spontaneous photo-derive around Coventry, a few weeks ago (as mentioned in recent posts).  In each case, Photoshop has been allowed to make at least as many decisions as I have myself (far more, in actuality).

The Labelled Land

 



All Images: West Leicester, May 2021



...Where geometry prevails (an underlining).

...Where the bowsers are aligned (to what ends?).

...Where the rampart abuts (vertical face adjoins inclined plane).

 




...Where travellers no longer alight ( the ghost-line remains).

...Where text and place intersect (location labelled)

...Where new meaning is applied (change of use)






...Where new edifices emerge (a conjuring of density)

...Where the skyline is re-engineered (the prospect/the overlook)

...Where occupancy expands into new cells (leveraging of space)






...Where a reversal might occur (what lies behind all this?)

...Where points of view are exchanged (transmit/receive)

...Where the fixings are revealed (the physicality of text)






...Where recession operates (against hospitality).

...Where perspective is gained (against the oblique).

...Where angles tighten (against the format).






This is the place.  

Is this the place?  

Is the place this?
