BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK BEFORE COURSE

'Card Portraits'.

9 digital photographs.

'Card Portraits' was a one of ten artworks in my body of work for the IB Diploma Visual Arts HL course. It was a development on one of the core pieces of my BOW: 'Playing Cards'. 'Playing Cards' was a collection of 54 ceramic playing cards (fired paperclay, red stain, clear glaze, decals) moulded into different forms. Identity, definitions, fluidity, rigidity, balance, tension, movement, illusion and emotion were some concepts I tried to grapple with when creating my BOW.

Playing cards

'The visual balance and tension reflect our own relationships. As a whole, the work refers to the individual’s role in society, as each card is similar but unique, its identity defined both through strict labels and fluid forms.'

Card portraits:

'...I intended to emphasise each piece’s individuality. This is representative of society, in which we are similar and equal, but unique and different simultaneously, all interacting and connecting with each other.'

Inspirations: artists Simryn Gill, Robert Klippel, Tatsuo Miyajima.

IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

Zaha Hadid (exact name of building/proper academic reference coming soon).

I found this in an old Domus volume that UNSW Library was giving away. I was amazed how Hadid transformed a typical boring, static apartment block into something subtly dynamic, emotive and beautiful.

The lines are all straight and geometric, however the fact that they are all slightly offset creates an almost organic, fluid feel. The use of colour lightens the mood of the building but doesn't take away it's authority as a solid, important apartment block. How did she achieve such a perfect balance??!

AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

View from plane over Melbourne (edited)

I was flying over Melbourne when I took a quick snap from the window: I thought that the pattern of the buildings broken up by the lines of the roads was beautiful. I elongated the image slightly in Instagram to emphasise the curve of the roads and edited the colour/contrast to remove distractions from the pattern.

I think it's beautiful because it looks nice, but even more so because the form was shaped by chaotic collection of human experiences and motives that ended up arranging in some kind of lovely order.
