Everard as Architect

Partly planned and partly experiment. I wonder if the idea comes across? (Think the Zen of ArchiCAD 3D modeling.)

    Thanks Rey, I'm encouraged to get your positive reaction! It always feels like a big risk to move away from the current styles and the outstanding work that's done with them. Sometimes a subject/personality doesn't fit into babies and kids, seniors, romance, wedding, fashion, glamour and so on. Yet is not less interesting for that. So what to do? In the case of Everard, he is an accomplished ArchiCAD draughtsman, a skilled cook, an armchair philosopher, loves Bach and Mozart (plays a little of them on keyboard) and growing vegetables! He also has no kidneys and must dialyse every second day, and so is faced with imminent mortality in a more shocking way than many of us and very vulnerable. The crude home-heart that his hands outline (home is where the heart is, and architects design homes for hearts) is a gesture of the need for security which is strived for through our civilised (suit and tie) accomplishments but threatened by our being flesh and blood (the "primitive" bare feet). I enjoy how in this image he is clearly recognisable in the "averaging" rendering, which you see in 3D graphics such as from ArchiCAD, and how in getting in closer to the image that rendering is interesting in itself.
