"Out of the comfort zone"

Our last project before this years exam is called "Out of the comfort zone" and is meant to give us a full review of what is expected for the final project, and takes us step by step through the exam process. As the title suggests, it is also designed to make us push ourselves towards exploring new techniques and expanding our inner borders. The teacher on this project is Associate Professor Inger Marie Søyland. Three weeks into the project I have to say I am impressed by her impressive knowledge and great communication skills! Thanks!

The result of the project should be a two dimensional picture (not a photo) of a shape in a space, and our first task was to make a shape of a cone, cylinder, cube or pyramid, and take pictures of this in an architectural context. We where to look for concepts and interesting lines, perspectives and light in the pictures taken, and choose one to work with in self chosen material and technique. Below you can see some of the pictures I took. The first one is taken in very limited light, and further exposed in Adobe Bridge, and is the one I have decided to work with, in charcoal on paper.
