END OF ASSIGNMENT EXHIBITION!

Today 25.08.2020 My randomly paired up Collaborator (AMY) and I made this piece based on the influence of the phrase “More than HUman” We were desingnated this area to work in, as such we took advantage of the seats provided and the tree in between to act as a focal point for our pice. we did however extend into the rest of our site with string. The string acted as a metaphysical connector between our clay Figures. The representation being

“The things beyond us,Connects us”

“the things we cannot see, Are most important indeed”

we wanted to make our figures as a reference point and then extend out into the site with string, using it as a representation of vibes and emotional resonance.

In this short video you will notice a view around a 3D Model of QUT’s Creative industry precinct. since my 1.6 task, we are encouraged to work in Site much more frequently. I have exhibited 3 pieces in the Ci garden, which are featured as still images within the Sketch-up Program.

~ (It was exciting to put these real shots in with the 3D software, it kind of acts as a walking map of the site. and it gives such a clear insight into what the space actually looks like).

The Site-specific sculpture theme carried on in Collaborative task 1.7 where I worked along side Paige to create “Where Bamboo met the Boundary-poles”. Then another in collaborative task 1.9 with (Amy) where we made a clay- human figure each and worked them into our designated space. Our Phrase of Inspiration was “BEYOND HUMAN” It has been extremely exciting to work with different partners for these tasks. It’s given me an insight into how each person works and views a task.

Included In the video above are imported photos I took personally of task 1.6, 1.7, 1.9

Jamie North “Remainder No. 20 and 21”.

These eroded spheres demonstrate the highly altered environments we live in today and fit seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. In addition to the artwork platform, Urban has manufactured an attribution stand that is installed with details of North’s artwork to give visitors an insight to his creation. Urban is proud to be part of a creation that contributes to Brisbane’s cultural identity

Gone to Seed , Commissioned as part of City of Brisbane’s Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens ‘platform’ project, the work takes as its starting point seed forms and fruit structure as might be encountered at the site.

I cannot get site sculpture out of my mine, here is an sculpture i noticed in The brisane Botanical gardens

This work by Juan Fernando Herran is a collection of tall wooden planks ranging in sizes stacked and leaned against a wall. It is a perfect example of material being limited in quantity but maximised in special occupation. This is one piece talked about in our week 5 lecture and is a a very visually dominant use of the material. Each plank has been cut to create a jagged shapes into the wood,

Limited material + maximum effect

Bamboo container experiment - side project.

Extended experimentation with my chosen material : BAMBOO ( Because During TASK 1.6, I used a bonding agent -String. AS such I wanted to further explore the qualities of Bamboo - Without anything other than ITSELF manipulating its shape.

Being inspired by exaggerating forms, raw natural material, I was able to generate this shape from the bamboo before putting it back into the Workshop pile.

the concept is, that as students we are given a certain amount of space to work with. In terms of the Z block Workshop work-benches, we have 2800mm x 1400mm of space. I made a ply wood frame to match these dimensions, so that I could manipulate multiple branches of bamboo within this workable area. The aim was to see how the bamboo reacted being crammed in the confines of the frame. The photo above is the shapes I was able to make using 5 pieces of the allocated bamboo material. Note : I manoeuvred the material by hand as little as possible, allowing the shapes to occur naturally.

Visit to see Graham Radcliffe’s Marble sculptures at his home in Mount Glorious at the Phoenix Sculpture Garden. 15/08/2020

Graham Radcliffe over his last 40 years of marble sculpting has sourced materials from all over the globe. Each marble described by Graham has its own distinctive qualities, some marble is harder, some is more brittle, others are smooth where others are rough. There are also considerations of care that must be enforced whilst cutting into the marble (especially in less dense areas) so that the material doesn’t crack. Graham decided to polish some sculptures when he is done with them to provide a gloss, whereas others are left rugged. Graham has done commissions for many locations around the world, as such, he described that his process is to take photos of the site, and evaluate formal qualities like Volume, CURVES, ANGLES and THEMES of the surrounding area. Mostly though, the sculptures are made by himself as way of bringing creation into the world. The exhibition in his back yard does not disappoint either, its such a remarkable sight to see them all taking their place scattered in an orderly fashion throughout the landscape. The choice of outdoor exhibition also seems to influence the design of the structures too. Very curved, and organic structures. I had a great visit and it was a pleasure to talk with artist himself.

Bamboo undulating volumes made in todays class. I enjoyed the bending of the material, it was even better when it decided to stay where it was placed. A pocket of energy captured , thats for sure!

Stainless steel, I noticed this piece outside of the Queensland state Library Visit in the city 10.08.2020

I also remmeber upon research seeing a refelctive piece by this very artist in the QUT ardens point campus, which conviniently i had climbed some years earlier.

Frank Gehry,2018, Serpentine Galleries Pavilion, UK

Gehry’s Architectural structure was mentioned in this weeks lecture, which I found particularly interesting. The timber beams don’t necessarily run perpendicular with one and other, they seem to hold onto each-other in a very disproportionate manner. The effect this translates is rather an odd, dilapidated feeling as though the structure has temporarily been frozen mid-fall. Additionally, by using several rectangular planes as an acting roof, Gehry has maintained some formality in the structure, yet rather than the planes connecting they almost are seen dangling in a very scattered manner. Steel bars are used as a way of connecting these planes together and to the broader architectural structure. It is an interesting design, it definitely doesn’t appear to serve a functional purpose, particularly outside a British gallery. I can imagine a bit of side-swiping rain would soon point out where the best areas would be to take shelter.
