Considering the current project interventions in Amsterdam.

Aswell as a general visual understanding of the culture within the city, I also thought about our current project of interventions and how I could relate things I saw to my work.

Descrete interventions. Small orange labels stuck onto the same side of scaffolding poles consistently along the pathway. I could relate imagery like this to my work as they are vibrant coloured labels intervening with a place people walk past everyday. Many people may not even acknowledge their existence.

Intervening with the pathway. Found this humourous as there was a random digger situated in a fairly busy street path, which pedestrians had to avoid.

As you will be able to see in my current sketchbook work, I have an interest in scaffolding and the intervention it causes upon an area. I find the idea of scaffolding visually interesting as it usually hides the identity of a building but gives it a new visual appearance. People may argue this is a hideous look, but I find the structure of scaffolding very interesting. I also particularly like the idea of enhancing colour on something we associate as being somewhat bleak - like scaffolding. In this image there is bright pink netting amongst the scaffolding construction.

These balloons sure make this old fashioned building more exciting.

Cranes are another, literally, huge intervention in our society.

I found these fence/board panel paintings very fascinating. I like the way the builders and the construction work that is taking place behind the paintings has been reflected within the artwork. This street art portrays the creative vibe throughout the city.
