Week 3

My Current Model

I imported my artists' artwork into their studio spaces

Gascoigne's Gazette has been represented by a floor rug

Hall's artwork has become the top of a coffee table.

Week 2: Lecture Task

Fiona Hall - Medicine Bundles for the non-born child, 1993
This piece is made from recycled Coca Cola cans. They have been cut into thin strips and then knitted together to form various items used for babies such as a jacket, booties, and bonnet. Also included are 3 ‘bottles’ and a teething ring. The material selection used in this piece is of great significance as it is suggestive of the materialism and consumer driven societies that exist today. Also because it is one of the most recognisable labels, this artwork also questions the direction children are heading and the influence of previous generations on them




Rosalie Gascoigne - Gazette, 1994
Gascoigne’s Gazette is made from a combination of sawn wood and plywood. This is significant because Gascoigne tends to practice the art of recycling and mainly creating art with found objects. By creating art in this way, it creates new meaning in the artwork. The disjoined arrangement of the materials is cleverly used as well as the earthy tones.

Studio Task for Week 1

STEP 2
(A)
















These structures were inspired by nature and growth, particularly shells. I chose not to hide the knots that hold the structures together. Some may consider it to be ‘messy’, however I felt it added an interesting element to the piece. In some ways those knots are one of the most important elements of the structure. If they weren’t there, the structure would fail to stand.

(B)















Aesthetically, some may argue that this piece of architecture may not be ‘great’. However I consider the concept and motives behind it to be great nonetheless. Michael Reynolds is the architect behind this “earthship”. The idea has come about in response to the current pressures that exist in relation to the environment such as climate change as well as limited and declining fuel and water supplies. He addresses these issues by not only constructing the entire home out of recycled garbage, but also equipping each “earthship” with clean energy supplies (ie solar and wind power), rainwater tanks, and many other components making this type of shelter nothing but sustainable and reactive to our current yet ever-changing environment

(C)

No straight lines exist in nature, not even the horizon. If you look closely you can see the slight curve.

This shot was taken from a plane window somewhere in between Sydney Australia and Port Vila Vanuatu during sunset. The photo definitely does not compare to the real thing however I feel it still captures its beauty.
