On Location: Hull

I made a visit to Hull last weekend and took in my surroundings, exploring the location. I stopped with a friend who is at the University there so I was treated to visits to small gems I would not have found on my own and also trips to the tourist locations. I wanted to look to The Deep, with ideas of human interaction with nature, but in an obtuse sort of way. How are we really connected to the animals there when they are separated, in an unnatural environment, by thick panes of glass.
I found interest in working here, photographing and also work in my location sketchbook.
It was interesting to take myself off to a new location to explore some newer ideas.

I returned home after the weekend with new material to work with, and was interested by the ideas of developing this contrast that I found. I created studies in watercolour but had the idea of doing something more.
The following images were my favourites. I felt they were the most effective in achieving the ideas I had behind the visit.

I wanted to explore the contrast and so I feel that these are definitely the most effective images to use in order to try and achieve this.
