Regarding materials, my initial thoughts are:
- Using projections: that way, multiple designs could be played throughout the day and it could also play a moving image.
- Using stickers: these could be plain vinyl with cut outs which depict the pattern, or simple shapes cut out of the vinyl. They could also be of varying transparencies which will then overlap to create new colours and shapes. I could also use textured stickers which would create more depth and texture.
- Layers of a harder material, such as acrylic, could be used and overlapped. These could contain engravings to add texture. This piece would be very 3D and it allows the audience to interact with it.

I enjoy looking at and working with geometrics, which goes hand in hand with looking at the tube.
With the train, I plan to look at the current train used as well as past trains. I also want to look at the whole design of the trains, including the design that has gone into the engines and mechanics of the trains.
I also want to look at the design of the stations, again, both current and past designs. I will also look at the design principals behind the first stations and station maps/plans.
I’ve also considered looking at ‘people on the tube’ and creating a piece to represent the people who walk the corridors, which is something I will still investigate.
The space I have chose to look at for this project is the never ending corridors found in King’s Cross St Pancras underground station. These corridors are walked by thousands of people every single day, yet they are just tiled in plain white.
If artwork was put on these corridors, it not only allows the work to be viewed by thousands of people without causing a disruption to their lives, but it will also brighten up many peoples journeys, both everyday commuters and the many tourists we get visiting London.
