Contextual notebook

Through the course of this project we all had to keep a record of different artists that inspired us. These are a few pages from my notebook which I thought are quite interesting.




David Lillburn 
Les Madias Ras - this is seven drypoint prints which together form a map of Dublin.






Cathy Prendergast 
In 1992, Kathy began working on this series of city drawings. Each map consists of delicate lines that depict the main thoroughfares and streets of a city as though they were the veins and arteries of a human body.





Leah Evans
Leah's quilted wall hangings are based on imagined places. She shows evidence of humankind's effects on the landscape while letting the viewer come to their own conclusion while keeping her commentary on enviromental impact subtle.





Vasco Mourao
Mourao's architectural drawings are a  fascinating journey through cityscapes of an original imagination and a busy hand.





Susan Giannantonio
This series "Bike Jam" consists of bright and cheerful watercolour paints applied to a canvas.





Yuko Nishimura
Yuko's inspiration comes from the simplicity with which paper art can be created from just one sheet, and without ever being touched with a tool.
