My work to this point has been created through making, using cut and fold techniques to create the shape and pattern. The shadows created have been the successful part of this process, creating interesting marks from the maquettes. The paper sculptures have developed slightly, however they are not providing me with enough to work with so I am going to focus on the photographic element. Using the photographed shadows I began trying to emulate the marks through line drawing on different papers. Tracing paper and surfaces with opacity worked the most successfully, the transparency added another level to the drawings. I have researched into different drawing styles and mark making, Tania Kovats work in 'The Drawing Book' in particular captured my interest as she creates layers and depth through her mark repetition. The idea of using one motif in repeat using scale is an interesting concept to explore.
