Jackie Green
Jackie's final assessment piece was this free standing zigzag display book inspired by a visit to Kilpeck in Herefordshire. The unique church architecture of the ancient building provided an endless source of decorative features for design development.
Jackie used a limited palette of soft dusty colours to capture the inherent characteristics of the sandstone building.
Jackie looked at iron work, carved wood and glass as well as the stone of the structure itself.

Left: Jackie's first assessment piece was inspired by landscape as expressed in a poem by Yeats. Working with words and phrases as inspiration meant the work could be entirely personal rather than a literal interpretation of a specific visual source.
More pages with quite abstract images inspired by the poem.
Sketchbook pages with a poetic and dreamlike quality, reinforced by lovely use of painterly watercolour techniques.
