After coming out of the group crit I feel so much better about my direction and the work I am creating. While I was worried I was going into a too illustrative pathway, my peers and tutor all like the origins of my ideas; the literary influence. I need to look further into artists/ illustrators who worked in the style for novels and fantasy. I think I have become too bogged down with Escher and his geometry, while it sparked my interest, i must allow myself to move on. I also became a bit too obsessed with finding meaning in my work straight away, worried I was getting too close to architecture, I kept trying to find meaning in it, to make it architecture as art as opposed to just architecture. I realise I am only interested in architecture on a shallow level, in a very stylistic way. It is the fantastical aspect of the project and the detailed way I work which compliment each other and interest me.


On the subject of gaming and fantasy, the 3D blocks I wish to create put my group in mind of  Minecraft, where anyone can create their own scenery and architecture. This is also what i want to get from my sketches, the audience applying their own story.
