Sketching out

I went to see a student Work-in-Progress show today at the Royal College of Art. I loved it, seeing the many ways the students research and develop their work.

The exhibition featured fashion, textiles, metalwork and photography students. 

My favourites were:

• Thomas Adank - whose website I think this is - had bold, pastel colours in simple brown frames. It appears to be a big block of colour, until you go closer and realise the colour you're looking atis an expanse of Lenor fabric softener.
  
  
• Melanie Rozencwajg's beautiful images show people in Liverpool Street & Euston stations. She removes the clutter, shops, floors, and everything around to leave just the people in small scale, almost pattern-like.
  
  
• Frederico Camara's research on maps and Brazilian immigration in the UK, though in early stages, seemed interesting.
  
  
• Luke Trybula's textiles were very attractive
  
  
• Keith Barry's textile research was particularly impressive, with intricate patterns and detailing.

Sadly, I can't show any images as photography was prohibited, and I can't find any on the web.

Here are some sketches I did:
