I have had a deepening interest into historical architecture; particularly work that has a cultural or historical significance. Ranging my resources has been challenging; however, I have tried to vary using literature, newspapers, and films.

Discovering artist Rachel Kneebone, who is currently showing her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum; I found her work to be echoingly and catastrophically beautiful. V&A Museum (n.a) ‘399 Days, Rachel Kneebone, 2012-2013′ https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/rachel-kneebon (9^th October 2017).
The appearance is like the Trojan’s Column Italy, which signifies victory won during the reign of the Trojan, the pillar illustrates a graphic novel of their success.

My work has slowly been influenced by sculpture; consequently, I found a book by Judith Collins, who narrates sculptor Eric Gill who uses a range of techniques found on the column throughout his work. Particularly a carpentry effect that has increased attention to detail, took several years of completion. When studying the column, the figures show the story of the capture of Dacian, a country which is now known as Romania.

My last resource found as part of the Daily Mail, has a connection to how I view the Column, there are both the presence of leaders, cavalry and the positions that are pictured are like that on the column itself; the beauty is staggering.
