DAY TRIP

Went on a little test run of commuting to Kingston University today, went fine, hopefully the one and a half hour train journey will give me a chance to keep my blog up to date!!

Out Of Order, By David Mach
Old London Road, Kingston


After a wander around Kingston, we went to V&A, saw this strange display of white traffic cones hanging outside of the V&A entrance, which looked really good! Turns out it is by the Heatherwick Studios which was really exciting to see some more of his work inside.


Thomas Heatherwick is a current influential designer, best know for his recent design for the London 2012 Olympic Games, the iconic cauldron. His unique 3D work is very inspiring.

Outside the Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert sculptor Tony Cragg has a collection of sculptures displayed around the museums. http://www.tony-cragg.com/

I studied Tony Cragg in a past art project for my A Levels, I find artists that use nature to inspire sculpture very interesting because there are so many different inspirations to draw from in nature such as the textures, colours, forms and shapes. I would love to use nature to inspire some fashion pieces, looking at textures in particular.
