QUOTATIONS

Jane Goodall

• The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Florence Nightingale

• You ask me why I do not write something.... I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results.

Stephen Hawking

• I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

My chosen artist is Ricky Swallow. He is an Australian sculptor and mostly makes his sculpture to a 1:1 Scale. The work I chose of his is also a 1:1 Scale sculpture called The First One Now. It was made in 2000 with pigmented resin. Since most of Swallow’s works are big is scale and require a lot of space I have integrated my design for his studio is very spacious and.

My second chosen artist is Sidney Nolan. He is one of the great twentieth century Australian artists. Nolan was a visual mythmaker, in the 1980s his innovations led him to experiment with spray can paint, which enabled him to blend colors on the canvas to create layer upon layer of paint. The painting I chose of his is also synthetic spray can paint on canvas. It is called “Illuminations” and was painted in 1982.

I think this building has a similarity to the building I designed. They are very geometrical and create interesting spaces.
