My three images

A: High School Art Work
The task was to replicate a photo taken of the class in the mezzanine level of the Red Centre as closely as possible. I'm sorry it is not very good, but it was a first attempt at sketching. B: Great Piece of Architecture
This is a photo taken at the Architecture Graduate Exhibition at UNSW, two years back. It would be my dream come true if I could ever perfect my model making skills to this level and create something so exquisite.

C: Something Beautiful

My childhood memory recalls a trip my family once took to the South Island in New Zealand. Out of the many scenic wonders we explored, the one that affected me most was Milford Sound. I remember what was so special and magnificent about Milford Sound was that it revealed it self to us in all its broad sweeping majestic wonder; after following an hour long trek through the valley tightly enclosed by trees and bramble all around. The contrast of going from a tunnel -like claustrophobic space to the accomodating horizontal openess of the valley on the eye-even seen through the foliage was truly a delight!

Fiona Hall

(n.) Capitalism

(adj.) delicate

(v.)forceful

This is a display in the exhibition of Tender in 2005 in which the artwork allows one dollar american bills to be fashioned in to dozens of birds nests in all shapes and sizes. The medium of this artwork then strongly fortifies the Hall's purpose to be a political one. As the American dollar is the most higly sought after in Third World Countries; we inhabitants of capatalist nations are all like birds in our scavenging search for money to shelter our lives just as birds build their nests. At the save time due to our industrialist expansionism, deforestation has come as a result, depriving the birds from their natural habitat and driving them to extinction. Therefore the dual message portayed by the artwork is delicately yet indelibly expressed.

Tracey Moffit
(n.) Angst

(adj.) articulate

(v.) reach-out

The bottom inscription reads "Her father's name for her was 'useless' ". From the exhibition Scarred For life in 1994. It is one of a series of nine images all sized 80 by 60 centimetres. The aim of the series was to portray distinctly like this one, the ugly and innermost moments and memories in our childhood that we can all relate to. It is so powerful because the few words in the caption coupled with the truth portrayed by the photographs is disturbing end strongly evocative to the responder. In this one the feeling of despair and hurt is forcefully conveyed. The photo adhering to the character of Moffit's works is one salvaged from the time of her childhood in the 1960s and 1970s. This is significant because as the photo is dated and old, it speaks of an issue of universal relevance today.

Rosalie Gascoigne

(n.) collection

(adj.)idyllic

(v.)remind

25 scollap shells,1984 was included as apart of Gascoinge's Earth exhibition in 1999. Gascoigne has said about her Earth series as being one of the four classical elements and expresses her desire of making the panels representing Earth are "very physical" and in touch with an element that is "basic". In doing so she has employed her choice of the grid and uncompromising wood in all her works as exemplified here. The works in this series are compositions of humble materials once apart of the landscape itself; collected into a compostion, these elements invite the responder to contemplate and connect with nature.
