Some drawings by Chris Thurlbourne who has been making these composites that mix drawing and model for a number of years. Chris often collaborates with artist Barnabus Wetton, and builds up layers of drawing on paper and with steel wire, adding surface of colour on the paper and other materials on the parts that become model. I will see if I can post a few more another time.

The drawings are made as both studies to develop independent ideas and as early stages of projects.

Vilhelm Hammershoi, Interior from Bredgade with the artist’s wife

Another piece from ARoS, this time a painting from the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershoi, who painted a number of stunning interiors and views of Copenhagen (and Bloomsbury) capturing the full flatness and subtlety of Danish light (and London fog).

To view in 3D go cross eyed so that the left and right image register over each other. You will see three images – concentrate on the middle one and try to ignore those on the outside. When they are registered, a 3D image should appear. Try to relax and the depth will improve. If you are having difficulty, make the image smaller and try again.

Olafour Eliason’s Your Rainbow Panorama sits on top of ARoS (an art gallery) in Aarhus, a ring of coloured glass to walk through on the roof. I will post some stereoscopic views from inside tomorrow.

I am in Aarhus, Denmark, today and dropped by Arne Jakobsen and Erik Møller’s Aarhus City Hall (1941).

More Instrument Eight

Another view of Instrument Eight, looking from the instrument with Perry Kulper’s drawing and associated pieces towards the one with my drawing and drawing pieces. The project is documented in more detail in our Pamphlet Architecture 34.
