163 Avoca Drive
The interest in 163 Avoca Drive lies within the physical representation of a collection of memories. Through the metaphor of my Nan and Pop’s old holiday house, I aimed to incorporate the new with the old, the flat with the risen and the present with the past. Not only does the obvious gestural forms and colour explore a collection of memories, so does the material selection and application. The sweeping curves, development of layers and textural wax waves express the continuing, transforming and forever present memories.

Gaudi’s Cathedral: La Sagrada Familia
The development and continuation of this monument in Barcelona is most interesting. The famous architect died half way through his master piece. Gaudi had only designed and built the front of the Cathedral. However, the construction hasn’t stopped for nearly 130 years, and it’s expected to continue for another 20. A panel of architects where commissioned to continue construction, in Gaudi’s eccentric and bold style. The transition is obvious and fascinating as you can directly compare the craftsmanship of the artists by walking around its perimeter. Inside, the expected high ceiling of a Cathedral is a galaxy of almost cartoonist Blackholes, which seem to suck all attention up to the roof. La Sagrada Familia is an artwork.

Kata’s Sunset
It was like a puzzle: the illuminate sun sunk perfectly between the two headlands. The array of colours were so superb my camera couldn’t quite capture them humming in the sky. Everyone stopped for it; even the long-tails dropped their anchors. Its interesting how without any deliberation, consideration or planning some things are naturally so impressive.
