Surface experiment:

Laser cutting machine and ink As I have seen one of the most noticeable character of Brick Lane is Art which is implemented on almost every surface all over the place. According to my survey and interview people in Brick Lane doesn’t want the market to dramatically and completely changed After regeneration as it happened in Spitalfields market. What I want to achieve: Understanding of Art, surface and something transparent which would not interrupt the scenario in the place Solution: Making experiment of surface using Laser cutting technique and painting using ink
