Stanlow

I want to create new shapes and patterns from unconventional sources, taking forgotten elements and using it in design. To do this I have look at things that appear different to their function.

Stanlow oil refinery is a brilliant example of what I have been looking at, especially at night. The structure and appearance is a metal maze of piping and barrels. However, when dark outside, the safety lights create a mystical and enchanting feel to the otherwise ugly complex. I am going to explore these shapes and structures and apply them to my work.
