Doing some research into pattern and shape and using that to respond visually

On Monday after I’d got home from work- I felt like I was in a little bit of a daze. Just because it is difficult to get into the work mindset after so many hours in harsh lighting and absolute mindless boredom. So after a few hours of milling about- I decided to just pick up my “pattern and shape” book that I got free at the library a couple of months ago.

It has some lovely images and I thought it would be a nicer way to get back into the creative flow.

It definitely was- and sparked a few ideas/ interests in me which was amazing. Even though this didn’t directly link to my project- for the time being I am just focusing mainly on creative outlets I can utilise instead of the practicality of relating to FMP and my project. Just because I find that that mindset isn’t very conducive to enjoyment and fulfilment. Both of which are my primary aims when spending my time creating during quarantine.

All these images really inspired me to re visit making marks. Which is quite ironic because for the first few months of this academic year we were constantly doing that (and I absolutely despised it) Hahahaha. But coming back to it in my own time and in my own way has been so interesting and engaging for me.
