SKETCH UP STAIRS

WEEK 1: THREE PICTURES

Creative Work: 

During my second last year in highschool we were assigned to create a piece of artwork, in whatever medium we pleased. I had done drawings before and digital art, so I decided to go against the grain and spent hours on end hammering nails to two large pieces of wood to form the outline of two koi fish which symbolised Yin & Yang. With black and white string I then coiled around the nails to form the fish and bring them to life. Although the process was very tedious and delicate at times, it was very enjoyable to try out something which began as an idea in my head and ground it into reality.

Architectural Work:

Early 2015 I travelled to Singapore in a desperate attempt to slowly tick off the major cities of the world. Amongst all the beautiful and great pieces of architecture and engineering feats, the Art-Science Museum located at Marina Bay Sands is the one that shone brightest in my eyes, a gem sitting on the banks of the river. Designed by Moshe Safdie, it represents a opening lotus flower and the "welcoming hand of Singapore". Whilst it is not a "great" piece of architecture in the sense that it broke traditional rules of architecture and propagated the discipline in a new direct, I feel that it can be very much a reminder of our very own Sydney Opera House, and in that way it is "great" by bringing people together and symbolising the city as the friendly, prosperous and peaceful city that it is. 

Something Beautiful:

This was a photo I took quite a long time ago, maybe when I was about twelve or thirteen. My dad had taken us out at four in the morning to go fishing on the boat, and we sat there in the darkness waiting for the fish to bite our rods until the sun came out to run its usual course. Although the camera quality wasn't as sharp as it is today, I can assure you that this photo doesn't do the memory of me standing on the edge of the boat snapping this beauty justice. The tornado looking cloud splits the image into two halves, one with the sun engulfing the atmosphere, eating into the waking world while the other half lays still awaiting the sun to kiss its skin.
