3DCP : Exteneded research



Chris Natrop I decided to research the work of Chris Natrop,which is centred of the act of cutting paper. His use of repetition,reduction,free forms and flowing shapes was something I wanted to incorporate within my own work.
His delicate work tends to be on a large-scale which then hangs freely in a large room ,with no prior drawings. Instead, all his work is created in a stream of consciousness style, rather than having standard linear formations.
Similar to our class work, his work is best displayed at site-specfic installations, which is then manipulated by light and project motion graphics that work together to create raw shadows and a whole world of their own for the viewer.
