  • The Sculpture Project: Creat a sculpture out of multiples of everyday objects.
 
 
Idea 1
 

Photgraph a Top End wetland landscape early morning or late afternoon. Make a tree sculpture hanging lots of Coke cans in the tree.
 
Contrasting the beutiful pristine landscape with a symbol of urbanisation and consumerism. 
 
 
 
My inspiration comes from spending time in creation.
 


Learning from the master creator.

Being Creative
How does one be truly creative when you are getting graded and marked  against whether you have been 'creative' enough?
Time ticking away and pressure of time frames that you you need to demonstatrate that you can be 'creative'

Do i have to make a statement?
Do i have to be risky?
Do i have to be offensive?
Do i have to be modern?

What if i just like the look of textured rock?
What if i just like the different textures of sand?





















What if i just like carving wood?
 
 
                         

                       Is that enough?
