Visual Arts
Coursework visual arts projects have covered a wide range of mediums, techniques and themes.
Animation
University Project, 2022.
This animation was inspired by a 1989 segment from the ABC’s “80 Days That Changed Our Lives”.
Rotoscoping, a hand-drawn animation approach, was used along with Photoshop, Premiere, and iMovie. Frames were originally drawn on in reverse colours and inverted to achieve the night-time effect.
This animation was inspired by water and the role that it plays in our lives and identities, particularly as Australians.
Footage was selected from my camera roll showing memories, loved ones, experiences and meaningful moments that took place within the context of water-related landscapes. Recordings of the weather and household utilities like taps and sinks reiterate how essential water is to our lives.
HSC Body of Work
Visual Arts, 2019.
My HSC body of work ‘Adoration and Appreciation’ was centred around comfort and close relationships with friends.
Digital drawings and an animation were created with Photohop.
Ceramics
University Course, 2023.
Hand-building techniques and surface treatment exploration.
This work makes a satyrical comment on the inherent fragility and formality of ceramics as a medium by appropriating traditional delft decoration style and using text to contradict the ways we instinctively approach handling and using vessels.
3D Printed Ceramics
Juxtaposing mechanical machine-led method of construction with organic form and shape.
Live Drawing
University Course, 2020.
Ink and fine liner pen triptych, emphasising the beauty of the intermediary motion between live model poses, an overlooked factor in the practice of live drawing.
Textiles and Jewellery
University Project, 2021.
‘Carrying Place’ was a textiles, natural dye and weaving project exploring how place could be integrated into physical artworks, conceptually and literally.
Natural dying processes used plant matter, household kitchen items (such as tea, vegetable waste, etc.) and organic fibres to produce various shades, representing my home and environment.
The jewellery component of ‘Carrying Place’ looked at the shapes produced by reflections on water.
To represent constant flowing and shifting, this piece is designed to be viewed in motion with its appearance changing as it moves with the wearer.
Experimental Drawing
University Project, 2022.
This frottage project comments on the excessive prevalence of warning messages in our society, and how their emphasis is diluted by such repetition.
