Picture left: Installed in October 2008 Picture right: digital render NEW PUBLIC ART COMMISSION - 545 Queen Street, Brisbane My concept is to create 3-4 large pod forms inspired by the Moreton Bay fig trees on the West and the Brisbane River on the east of building. I wanted to design a stylized organic form that reflects the environment in which it is situated. The shadow is the key design feature of this sculpture.They will be fabricated in either copper or brass with an organic looking patina. Image to the right is the concept proposed and has been approved and I am now commencing the Design Development stage. |

2007 SOMERVILLE HOUSE AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE OF AN OLD GIRL: IN THE ARTS |
|||
| MASTERS OF FINE ARTS AND DESIGN - UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA. Symbiosis - the relationship between the body and adornment Symbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals of two (or more) different species. Sometimes, a symbiotic relationship benefits both species. Sometimes however, one species benefits at the other’s expense, and in other cases neither species benefit. Symbiosis, in relation to my project, is a collection of adornment inspired by Tasmania fungus and saprophytes and its relationship with its environment. I have replaced fungus with adornment and the environment with the body. These works aim to redefine jewellery as simple objects of desire and create adornment that relates to the part of the body it belongs to by feeding or growing from it. The work is part of the wearer and not just an item that is worn for decoration. OPENING NIGHT: 15th June 2007 |
