Resolved Work #3

Down memory lane – Acrylic on Canvas

Down memory lane is a visual exploration of the common expression. If you could stroll down a street representative of your life and memories, what might it look like? Would it be inviting, would there be glowing windows, would it be colourful, or would it be somewhere you wouldn’t want to walk?

Resolved Work #2

Freedom in duality – Acrylic on canvas

People are complex beings made up of both logic and creativity, one does not need to be solely right-brain inclined or solely left-brain inclined. Actually we need both to work together, and when we realise this we allow ourselves to explore our interests and skills more broadly and deeply.

Resolved Work #1

Your choice to make – Acrylic on cardboard

Artists have this incredible ability to be fully in control of their creative purpose, to create with any process they wish. A painting has no other function than to be a work of art, and by that definition whether it pleases the eye of the viewer, how it was created, or whether it is hung on a wall is indifferent to its function of paint on a surface.

Module 3 – Landscape

To another place – pencil on paper

Everyone at some point has dreamt of being somewhere else, of walking through an archway and being transported to another world. For some, art acts this portal of escape, allowing you to immerse yourself in creating another world where you can reside as you build it with pencil and paper.

Module 2 – Perspective

When it feels like home – pencil on paper

What feels like home is different for everybody, for some people its a place, for some people its a person, and for some people its the objects that hold memories. This artwork explores the idea that maybe who are with, the objects you fill a space with or the memories you make can turn a room from an empty space into somewhere that feels like home.

Module 1 – Still Life

The One’s Who Hold – Charcoal on paper

Vases have a unique role in displaying cut flowers, their shape and size determines how the flowers will sit. Without a vessel cut flowers would have no way to be displayed, much like how a canvas or piece of paper holds the artwork created.
