The drawing below is representative of my experiences of Magistrates Court in Nottingham.
The Magistrates Court in Nottingham features several floors that can overlook anyone walking below. That space made me feel as though anyone above were looking down on me.It is quite intimidating and comes across as very judgemental, an aspect which is essentially key in a court.
I wanted my drawing to show this intimidation. I lined the floors with the anonymous, near shapeless, figures of onlookers. I have purposely tried to make the space seem bigger by playing with wide angle distortion, which causes lines to bend and perspective to be stretched. My drawing has achieved the feelings that I wanted to portray, at least in my eyes. It captures the feelings that I think are caused by the building.
