Sopwith's Isometric Drawing Techniques

I think anyone familiar with SketchUp would see the reason why I chose to put this image up.

Ah.... The Grid... who can resist it??

Testing out in the Blacksmith's Shop

The first public event of this project is fast approaching.............. September 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th for Heritage Open Days.

I went down to the place were Mair and I are going to show some work today. I had a particular spot in mind for a projection.

The above image is a quick test of this spot, it needs a bit of working out still but I think it's a good place for my work.

I've also been enjoying looking at David McCandless's work (see info is beautiful link at side).

seeing colours everywhere

I've just finished making a "virtual sculpture" using Google SketchUp. I thought I wanted to make a "real sculpture" using coloured acrylic blocks, but I've been contemplating how to reduce the amount of "stuff" I use in my practice (particularly "stuff" that could have a harmful impact on the environment), not to mention clogging up my living space! So I opted to make a computer model instead. I think seeing Suneil's CAD designs for the components of his RepRap machine also had a big impact on me.

Anyhow the" virtual sculpture" (yet to be named) is a colour coded interpretation of a piece of text by Robert Owen. In the text he writes about arrangements of population, I guess it is a town planning policy but in very grandiose language. So I have been plugging away on my computer for the past week turning letters of the alphabet into beautifully coloured transparent columns.

The up shot of this is I have been lost in my own psychedelic world and was overjoyed to see colour just as vivid in the real world.
