Week 3 - Texture and Materiality

Fiona Hall
This piece is a photo of a sculpture on a black background. The sculpture is made from a tuna fish can, which has had it's lid pulled back. Other pieces of tin metal were then cut into thin strips, and then bent and twisted into various directions, and fixed to the tins edge. The tops of the mushrooms were made from other excess tin that was cut and scoured into the forms they are. Hall used a pliers and tin snips for this piece.

Rosalie Gascoigne
This piece was made from various pieces of wood, ccut into wedge-like shapes. They were then left rough on the cut edge, and painted giving it a slightly rougehd up texture and colour. The pieces were then strategically places in two piles, side-by-side, infront of a white backdrop.

Assignment One




















Best creative piece from highschool. A drawing I did of a scene a friend described to me, from where she used to live in the city. This city is obviously fictitious, and the scene made a little darker, but it's the way I felt it should be interpreted. Drawn in pencil and then lined with 0.2 and 0.4 fineliners, over the course of about a month.





















St. Basils Cathedral, Russia
The interior s made up of more and than smaller chapels, and boasts varying artworks on the inside of each dome, with beautiful icons and medievl painted walls. I think this is particuarly interesting as it differs greatly from traditional western cathedrals. It's bold colours and interestingly shaped domes were the first thign to interest me as a child.















A girl's eye, taken by herself. The image, although slightly light edited I think it's amazing, because the curvature of the eye as the light refracts through it, highlighting the deep brown of her iris, looks incrdibly beautiful. Furthermore her delicate eyelashes only further emphasise the beauty of her face.
