36 Custom Textures

36 WORDS TO DESCRIBE A TEXTURE (and the resulting sketches...)

The 36 textures are divided into 'Above Ground', 'On the Ground' and 'Below Ground'.
If you look closely, you'll see the associated word beneath each texture.







TEXTURES APPLIED IN SKETCHUP MODEL

The first texture i experimented with was gooey. It was a bit of a stretch, but i used it to represent the lower studio erupting up out of the ground, creating a soft and stretched image of the earth surrounding the structure.






The second texture i used was 'Sandy'. This was placed on the large step at the entrance to the Above Ground studio. I used this to imitate a sandstone material, being light in colour and natually sourced, it reflects the words 'harmony' and 'acoustic' which i used to describe the artist's work.







To display Ricky Swallow's work in his studio, i created a podium to which i applied the texture 'Stringy'.
This was more experimental than anything else, but could be identified with the word 'Evoke'.




                          



Lastly, i thought that Layered could be applied to the wall displaying Richard Goodwin's work. When i think of mechanical, i think of many components coming together; a type of layered effect, which is why i think this works well here. It's also a great contrast to the other wall materials.
