Architectural Structure...

Whilst Carolyn and I were studying our City & Guilds Course we were often inspired by Kandinsky, I used him many time in my sketch book. Recently we had an open day for Beyond Patchwork, we showed some of our course work which meant we got to look through our sketch books and that prompted me to revisit some of the work.
My course work was based on West Chiverton Mine nr. Truro so the perfect topic for architecture, below are a few sketch book pages and fabric samples that I've developed from my course work...

Thanks for reading,
