billboard.. piccinini.
Protein Lattice (1997), a digitally manipulated photograph by Piccinini was blown up on a billboard,to satirise the idea of advertisements. This photograph was a type c photograph, and therefore extremely glossy to emphasise the fakeness and sense of distorted reality, which is the basis of Piccinini's concept.

something beautiful.
architecture.
The Erick van Egeraat Tower in Amsterdam is an office tower located to the south of the city centre of Amsterdam. Its aesthetic appeal is one of 'heavy materialisation' and is composed with a variety of shifted, light weight volumes. Erick van Egeraat's intention was to use the light weight volumes to create feeling and expression in his building, appearing different from every angle. It consists of three distinct sections, made of different materials to create a different character for each section. The lower floors allow natural light to enter the core of the building as they are transparent in contrast to the upper floors which are clad in a heavy natural stone. The middle section serves as a transition between the other sections and consists of transparent and printed glass and aluminium panels. I chose this building because of its contemporary design and its sense of originality.

creative work.
As we take a step away from traditional values and towards the futuristic advances of our society, the origin of all inorganic creation is seemingly forgotten. The two sculptures I completed as my body of work serves as a reminder of how each unique invention began with an idea which was moulded and shaped through the meticulous work of one’s hands. Simultaneously, it attempts to portray the power of the imagination within humanity in creating expressions of beauty, such as architecture and music. My work was classified in the postmodern frame because of the techniques I used. This artwork represents how men’s greatest achievements have been able to portray the progression of humanity. The hands are a commonality in the two artworks, symbolizing the simple foundations in which architecture and music have stemmed from. By using the artform of ceramics, I personified how hands are the fundamental ingredient in the execution of any masterpiece.
