Historical Patterns

Patterns are all around us within an interior setting whether that be on walls, funiture, fabric or Home accessories.

I recently visited Dunham Massey in Cheshire and took some snaps of patterns around the Old house.

Photo Manipulation

This is where a photograph gets edited and sections manipulated from the original image to create different effects or overall mood of the image. Some appear more simple with slight colour changes but others can appear quite advanced and complex creating whole new graphical style imagery and patterns. Here's a few examples of my Artwork.

Relatively simple manipulation- less detail leads to image into a Pop Art style.

'Electronic Splash'- Quite a graphical effect

-Along the lines of Abstract

'Paper Disks'- With an element of dimension & depth

Colour change can have quite a desirable effect :)
