Construct and Support No 2

A large-scale fluid drawing without restraints, being loose but evocative. The concept was to draw as if to float with no idea of the outcome but to try and mimic a balloon’s movement and its unpredictable sense of direction that the atmosphere will dictate. I draw the construction of plant supports so abstract vegetation can grow freely. New buildings should have a long-term plan of support as the building should not stop when the scaffolding or plant supports are taken down. A green plan for the future could be implicated in creating communities with the environment, social awareness, and mental health at its core. Construct and support could be seen as a management ethos that grows from this ideology.
