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 might it be somewhere you wouldn’t want to walk?

Resolved Work #2

Freedom in duality – Acrylic on canvas

Humans 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. In reality 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, this agency and freedom 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 as this portal of escape, allowing one to immerse themselves in creating another world where one can reside as it is built with pencil and paper.

Module 2 – Perspective

When it feels like home – pencil on paper

What makes a home is different for everybody, for some its a place, for some its a person, and for some its the objects that hold memories. This artwork explores the idea that who you are with, the objects you fill a space with or the memories you make inside 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 and in doing so control the arrangement and display of the flowers. Without this vessel cut flowers would have no way to be displayed and enjoyed, much like the way a canvas or piece of paper acts as a vessel and ‘holds’ artwork created.
