the black box
I’ve chosen this slide because of its subtle use of shadows and hard edge lines. I feel this slide best relates to my environment in that it uses colours which arn't to dissimilar to each other (or along the same tone) and with the use of shadows, forces a contrast between them, creating a space which in turn can be easily distinguished by the eye.

Another aspect of the pictures and how I feel they relate to my work is that the straight lines interlock with each other, giving it a bridging quality. The shadows within my environment are hard, which is similar to the use of the shadows in the second picture.

Materiality / Design concepts

Materiality / design concepts:

My building consists mostly of reused timber, glass and concrete. I’ve related the use of recycled timber to the type of art works Rosalie Gascoigne constructs (e.g. ‘firebird 1991’). I’ve also created a feature copper pipe piece (which helps unify the three structures) with organic vines growing from it, which ties in with the type of works/themes Fiona hall produces and plays with ( e.g. ‘paradisus terrestris’). The basement studio is constructed with extremely thick glass walls, and after critique from Fernando Menis, I decided to chnage the basement external glass walls to be made of form worked concrete (inspired by menis’ work; ‘MAGMA ART and CONGRESS Adeje Tenerife 2005’) and retain the dividing walls of the basement gallery and studio in the thick glass. I feel I have managed to capture the core ideas and general feel of the three clients. Here is a link to my model in winrar format;

A: CREATIVE WORKS

killmatik - skeet

This is a portion of graphics I worked on a few years ago, which ended up being used on a number mediums; Perspex displays, t-shirts, a speaker box and post cards to name a few. It consists of elements, which at the time of my life, I felt touched an accord with my way of seeing my own place in society. If your wondering, the image consists of 4 main elements; 1. portraits of Kim Jong-Ill scattered in the background; 2. the red personalised Kanji character of “people” with radiating outlines; 3. a camo green background (which happens to be a texture photo of one of the shirts it was printed on; 4. lesbians kissing (with an emphasis on their passion for one another).

B: A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

Fallingwater - Frank Lloyd Wright

Falling water by Frank Lloyd Wright appeals to me because of its use of simple lines and integration of these simple flowing lines into the landscape. I’ve always had an interest in architecture which is built into natural & weirdly shaped terrain. An interesting point about the design of Falling waters is, although built and designed around the 1930’s, it has a modern/contemporary feel to it. In saying that, other aspects of the building I feel use design principles that are timeless. Like the use of materials that relate to its surroundings, the use of levels which create and divide space. Finally the use of sustainability (in lighting and building orientation). These simple and classic points are why I find this building great.

C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTO OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This is a photo of a reflection of light. Unfortunately the quality of the photo doesn’t do what I saw any justice. I took it one brisk morning in an area of my house where the morning sun was hitting the windows. The result was a shimmering reflection bouncing off the wall. The light flickering on the wall almost seemed like it was dancing almost like it was alive. That’s when I came to the conclusion that light plays a hugely important part in the built environment.
