Exploring the impact of scale on architectural space we created a series of panels that read together as a whole.


The Scale Series 1.8 - Wall Art - for Brainy & Footsy


Wall Art

Design Outcome: Wall Art Prints





Exploration of scale


We created The Scale series to explore achieving large scale works that could be assembled from smaller parts. The image flows across 8 panels as if viewing the subject matter through a window. The immenseness of the landscape and its affect on the viewer is not diminished by the smaller individual panels.


"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

The eye looks beyond the voids created by the gaps between panels and reads the landscape as a whole.





Beyond human scale


The selection of the dramatic subject matter was chosen to exaggerate the sense of scale, depth and contrast to the viewer. There is a sense of vertigo created by watching the valley disappear beyond and below the viewer. This sense of vertigo is re-enforced by the placement of the panels close to the floor. The feeling of falling into the landscape is deliberately emphasised.


"The image and its scale invites us to reach out into another world."




Monochrome


The landscape has been reduced to a monochrome palate to exaggerate the images details and add to the foreboding nature of the work. The lack of colour gives the image a sense of a wasteland, something uncompromising and outside the human spirit.
