Room Dividers- Alix Dessain

I have done some more research, as I have decided that it is a room divider that I’d like to propose. I have decided upon this over a blind as I feel that as the new building is so open plan that to be able to make it feel more intimate when need will be very beneficial while still having the feeling of space.

Here are a few more images that are helping me to design and think of ideas for a new room divider. I have chosen these because they split a room up, but are not solid walls which ensures the feeling of space is maintained while still adding the feeling of closing the room down to a smaller space. 

I really like the simple graphic pattern created by this room divider by Apartment Therapy, which has been made using old painted vinyls.  

'MOLO' have created a room divider with a honeycomb design that can be easily moved and  stretched up to  4.5 metres. I like the innovative use of cardboard that has been developed to created a simple but elegant design. 

This wall divider, by 'The Brick House' , made using rope cleverly splits the room in two while still keeping the room as one.

Samiyah Fiaz- Slides Library

Extra research looking to the slide library for old stained glass windows, old school patterns & colour shapes.
Below are images that I have found and have worked with.

Fahima Chowdhury - A Second Attempt On Video Making,Inspired By Escher!

                                         
                                      This attempt had more editing!! Should I do more? The more I watch this video the more I find it quiet blurry?I guess its a learning curve!

Fahima Chowdhury My Video, Inspired By Escher!

 This is my first attempt ever making a video of my work, I hope you like it group!!

Fahima Chowdhury - M.C. Escher - Waterfall

 
 I came across this the other week, and I though it was a great example of Escher's 3D effect. Also loving the wonderful shapes!! Alix and Samiya maybe this could help you guys?Actually it can help all of you guys in different ways, just a thought :D

Fahima Chowdhury - M.C Escher you inspiration!!!

I was just looking for something to help me move my work forward and I came across Escher and his work just amazes me every time I see it. the way he uses shapes is remarkable. For me, at first glance his work seems to come off the page, as if its 3D, however its a flat surface. 3D may have a part to play in my work,maybe??

I just love the way he creates beautiful patterns with these shapes. He inspired some of my work. Also I love how its all black and white, because I feel its appropriate for the geometrical pieces. My work is also black and white but for a different reason, I just find it suitable for what I am doing, and I enjoy the simplicity in a chaotic design, which I would like to think Escher would of enjoyed to, maybe.

My Experiments

Samiyah Fiaz- Research Daniel Buren / Lission Gallery

Daniel Buren -Lission Gallery
 Daniel Buren uses a lot of 

* Light
* Colour
* Reflection
* Mirrors
* Natural light
* Shapes 

I edited digitally a photograph which I had taken in Berlin, Germany last year.

“The Holocaust Memorial”... Is just basic concrete columns that have been repeated for miles creating a statuses' field.  I know the history behind the holocaust but why the greyness?... WHY CANT THERE BE COLOUR? We pay respects that there was deaths there but we can also look at the lives that were there together.“ The Holocaust Memorial”...

Fahima Chowdhury - Arrivals Task (Drawings and Photo's)

       Just few photo's and drawings I did for the Arrivals Task

Anne Wilson - Lindsay Swan

On a visit to Whitworth Art Gallery I came across Anne Wilson who is a chicago based artist who looks at colour in Long strips. I really liked the way it felt like colour was migrating across a space and how I could relate it to the colours of Morocco travelling into Inner City Manchester.
