My two chosen words are Brain and Assemble.
Rosalie Gascoigne's studio is the top left box centred around the word assemble.
Fiona Hall's Studio/ the main gallery are influenced by the noun Brain.

A)

Docs Youth Advertisement

This short advertisement was made for an assignment in legal studies. My study topic was Youth, and I had spent some time researching the accessibility of the legal system in reference to the youth of Australia, and wrote a report on it. This video was just an extra for my presentation but was the most enjoyable part of the project as I was enlisted with the task of editing. My favourite part about it is the way strong lighting and shadowing is used throughout. An interesting fact is that my group spent about 8 hours all up filming and mucking around with the camera for this and another clip we made, and about 4 hours writing the actual report.

San Cristobal Stables, Los Clubes, Mexico City, designed by Luis Barragan 1966-68

I was only recently introduced to Barragan's work last year in ARCH1142 in a workshop about colour, which appears quite appropriate. It is amazing to notice that this architecture is simply basic geometric shapes; rectangles and squares, but when colour is added, it becomes something so much more beautiful. The use of shadows in the water and light for illuminating the colours is also very pretty to admire. It is interesting to note that his work was designed for the colour of the clear blue Mexican sky to contrast with the colours he chose in his designs.

C)

Chasm near Millford Sound, New Zealand

On my recent trip to New Zealand I took this photo of a natural creation called a Chasm. The information board explains it well, "The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time." The photo doesn't nearly capture the beauty of it all, the wavy strange shapes smoothly pressed in the rocks. This detail almost leads you to imagine the gradual eroding of the rocks through streams of water running over it, and makes you think about how much we underestimate the power of water.

HALL: BRAIN, ADHERE, INSCIENT

Fiona Hall's sculpture is made of a type of reinforced fibreglass called resin plastic. A layering process is used fibreglass. She would've created a brain shaped mould and treated it with resin. The process of reinforcing fibreglass involves layering pieces of fibreglass within a brain mould and applying resin on the surface as well as other coatings such as a gelcoat for a smoother, harder finish . The mould is separated from the component using wedges and compressed air.

MOFFAT: COSTUME, MASQUERADE, ARTIFICIAL

Moffat's photograph is an offset print, size 80 x 60cm.

GASCOIGNE: SHAPE, ASSEMBLE, ILLOGICAL

Rosalie Gascoigne used found objects to create her artwork. She found scrap plywood from used soft drink crates. She then sliced the wood using a bandsaw, into thin, uneven slivers. She kept the text which was printed on the crates and painted the squares in different colours. The arrangement she used places the pieces horizontally and vertically to form a chequerboard of rough squares.
