Serpentine

Having visited the V&A we then went on to visit the serpentine. Unfortunately it was not open when we went to view it. However we were able to see the linear structure which was built outside it.

I found the serpentine extremely inspirational. This is because I am interested by modern architectural design. The way in which they have incorporated such features along with abstraction allows this huge sculpture to seem way before its time. By this I mean that I can see future designs possibly stemming from the idea's conveyed here.

The unconventional use of extended planes beyond the point of which they have purpose (in a structural sense) makes the build have a seemingly endless feel to it. Another aspect of this image I like is that every bar is in either a horizontal or vertical plane bar the one on the left. This creates an immediate focal point which draws the viewers attention to that part of the image. 

Serpentine abstracts drawing.

When drawing this I wanted to make it more abstract than the actual serpentine however capturing its essence.
