Surface, Printmaking Exhibition, part of the MArch Printmaking Designate |
When I became lost in the constant late nights, context escaping
my brain and concept becoming meaningless, all I wanted was to step back from my project. The next day I would head off to the
3D modelling workshop, the printmaking department or the library in search of a
conversation, a drawing, a book, anything. It was in these spaces that I would
often meet students from various creative backgrounds. These other students did
not fear scale, materiality or to be a little different. This is
what truly inspired me the most.

Surface, the exhibition was a pivotal moment in my fourth year at University. Printmaking became a logical process for me to gain an understanding of place, materiality and to develop projects loosely through plan, section and elevation. I created some of my best drawings and ideas in the Printmaking workshop, alongside not only architecture but illustration, graphics and art students.
