120! Materials
Fiona Hall: The Price is Right, 1995.
Hall has taken photographs of different objects in this collection. This is a polaroid photograph. It is made up of two images, each image size is 53 x 68 cm. This artwork is a diptych which is a sequence of two images, which typically dictates where the observers eye follows. This has been done in modern art, for example Andy Warhol's Marilyn Diptych. The Everyday house hold items, the cotton underwear and the mop are photographed and backlit. The polaroid itself is quite large and shows more detail and has a glossy finish. Like many of Hall's work it is a social comment on the natural and commercial world. The glossy finish dipicts the glossy magazines and advertising images of the commerical world. The title of the artwork refers to the the game show "the price is right"- also refering to the buying of goods.
Rosalie Gascoigne: Untitled. (Two Linoleum Tesserae) 1994-95.
Gascoigne has used linoleum as seen on the surface of the artworks. On the backing she has used plywood. She typically uses materials that she has found. She doesn't use calssical materials as the materials she chooses to work with have been more exposed to "to the weather". Meaning used materials. The linoleum has been atached to the plywood and arranged so that it resembles some sort of puzzle, creating two panels: 23 x 16.5 x 1.5 cm.

chika chik-ah
HIGH SCHOOL ART PIECE. This was drawn during a boring day in class and it is the first of many of these types of drawings i have done. I had scribbled on some paper and tried to make a picture out of it, using only the lines of the scribble. I guess it looks like some sort of alien. Everyone has there own interpretation of this picture.
GREAT ARCHITECTURE. The Taj Mahal is an amazing piece of architecture that was built as a memorial for Emperor Shah Jahan's deceased wife. This mausoleum is decorated with many precious gem stones and its dome makes it typically Persian. The Taj Mahal integrates many aspects of culture from Hindu and Islamic traditions.
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. This was taken on the balcony of the house my family owns on Camuigin Island, Philippines. During Easter, there is a celebration of Saint Nino (the Baby Jesus) and it has become a tradition that the more well off families cook food for those who need it. This crowd are happily recieving the free food. Generosity from all the families that do this is really beautiful. It is also common that on the anniversaries of the deceased, food is prepared by the families in much the same way.
