Surface Incident

Surface Incident is a group of images that explore sense of place and the city, envisioned as a series of fabricated spaces—modeled in 3D and refigured through texture-mapping, lighting and framing. Surface Incident uses the visual language of cinema to investigate the shifting urban environment. These images link physical surroundings and psychological state, and imagine a de-historicized urban space in which surface is everything.
The images below are part of a group of test images for the project. The underlying forms were modeled, texturemapped and lit in Cinema4D. These preliminary sketches are a way for me experiment with models, lighting, lenses/framing and point-of-view.
