“Form follows fender”

In James Gowan’s parallel projections we were particularly interested in their spatial qualities, and how the form could develop. Seen as a negative space, it could be a staggered courtyard.

James Gowan used a car shape as a reference. By extracting the theme and duplicating the shape additional spatial qualities were developed. Positive and negative spaces are over and under the surface.
