I went to the exhibition ‘Adventures of the Black Square’ at the Whitechapel gallery as it focusses on the impact of Russian Constructivist work over the course of the 100 years since the creation of ‘Black Square’ by Kazimir Malevich. This post is about the pieces that I found to be the most compelling in

A group, comprising of myself and two other classmates (Patricia Orem and Camilla Gaulter-Carter) was asked to collaborate with each other as the themes of our work shared a set of characteristics: Modulation, Time, Free-form and Transformation. In our discussions we formed an idea around using a mirror to project an image onto another surface. I added

The colours were decided by colours randomly
