Fiona Hall's- Creation of Adam

From the series titled Genesis by Fiona Hall comes the work "creation of Adam" which explores a unique way of producing works of art. She uses gelatine silver photography to produce an effective texture and a particular style of photos. To create this distinctive look, Hall has suspended silver salts in gelatine over acetate or resin coated paper and allowed it to dry. She has being able to achieve a rough and sketchy appearance and has formed a powerful interpretation of the "Creation of Adam".


Tracey Moffat-Junk for Code

This image is from her best known series “Something More” from 1989. the series has the style of a set of stills for a film about the trials of a poor but restless ‘coloured’ girl in rural Australia who wants ‘something more’ out of life than her lot in the back-blocks. These studio based works of Moffat has resulted in a combination of cinema, photography and the visual arts. Moffat manipulates the background of the photograph by painting on the surface of the photographic paper, whilst leaving the motorbike and the legs of the woman in the foreground of the photograph untouched.

A.YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL















This is a painting that I did at school in year 9 in visual arts. We were asked to complete a landscape painting using oil paints, painting from a photo that we had brought into class for the task. The painting is of the front paddock of the family property and focuses on an old pine tree. The painting originally had other features such as livestock in the foreground but because of the unique shape and way that the tree had grown I decided to leave everything else out of the painting. This is one of the first paintings I ever did and because I enjoyed painting it so much it influenced the path i am beginning now, architecture.

B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE





















This is a piece of architecture that I admire for the way in which it has explored all possibilities and stretched the boundaries of the architecture profession. It was first brought to my attention when chatting to a 3rd year architecture student not long ago and I believe it may influence me in my future works.

C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This is a photo of one of the family work dogs who is an australian kelpie and is 3 years old. "Snickers" had just jumped up on the four wheeler ready to head home after a hard days work, watching as his boss closed the last gate.
