This image was part of a presentation composed by Russell Lowe, using images from Erika Kruger's submission for the Degree of Master Design at Victoria University of Wellington 2004 - entitled The Black Box.
shadows and spaces:
This image highlights how powerful light and shade can be in forming three dimensional images. Through the mere use of black to emphasise shadows, and white for light, an image is formed that encompasses depth and form. The differing shades of black and white encourage a richer environment that aids the viewer's perception of position and space. This highlighted the concept that not only light, but also shadows are important in shaping the spaces that one may occupy.
I used this idea to further develop my designs. As a result of this revelation, I started from scratch and redrew my axonometric drawings. This shaped how I would further design the interlocking rectangular prisms as I considered how light would fall onto the interlocking shapes and the resulting shadows it would cast on the surrounding landforms. I also started to think about the spaces that are formed from the interlocking prisms, and how light and shadow could further enhance these spaces.
