COLLAGES
These are collages I made during the workshop. I had always had an interest in Hokusai’s works.
He was a Japanese artist, painter and printmaker. In his works, he mainly uses cool tones which
I find is a very soothing colour pallete. He also incorporates water and nature into his work. In my
collages, I had printed his work and cut them out into pieces. The first collage below represents the
existing structure of the Quebec house, the direction of the joists. The collage on the right is to give
me an idea on materiality. I wanted to include a wave structure into my design and use materials
such as pebbles and wood (herringbone patterns). The wavy zig zag pieces represents sea waves
entering the building.
