On the wall

Collaborative dots transformation

2012-01-03T09:10:00.000+11:00

Title of the Google + post was
What happens when you give thousands of stickers to thousands of kids.

Artist Yayoi Kusama painted everything white. Every surface of the wall, the chair, the piano, household decoration a brilliant white.

Then the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane gave thousands of children stickers.

The result was a collabrative transformation of space. Yes the house that was white now became a vibrantly mottled explosion of colour.

I found this picture today and I loved the optical illusion straight away.

Space Paintings

2011-03-05T18:47:00.000+11:00

Art By Brandon Mc Connell at spacepaintings.com [ spacepaintings@hotmail.com ] leave my mouth hitting the ground and my mind saying I can do that. I found a video through stumble upon and half an hour later my mouth has still hit the ground. I find the paintings intregingly beautiful. Although what looks to the viewer as a splash here with a squiggle there would have taken so much practice just to get that line or uplifing of paint in the correct place.

Merging torrents

2011-01-13T10:08:00.000+11:00

The raging, merging torrents of spring fed water come crashing down in one area. The water spray looks a little fuzzy in this photo where the physical height of the forced upward water is touchable.

In both low lighting [candle light effect] and high resolution lighting [spot light] the force and movement , the bursting, bubbling energy being released leaves one feeling the viewer with a residual 'wet' by flying spray feeling.

This water color painting is approximately 1 meter by 1 meter tall. Painted completly by hand. Brush were not even brought out of storage. The effect is what was required to be achieved by the artist.

Fire in the flue

If your standing in a wood fire ove [ that you cook on] and there is a fire up in the flue this may be what you would see. The colors stand out. The movement is towards the central fire. Touching the picture reasures the viewer that there is only paint there as it is cool to touch.

Fireworks falling apart

2010-12-12T18:16:00.000+11:00

Photo taken at the Moe Bonfire night.

When the photo was enlarged and printed the colors on the black night sky are such that even though this is the way the photo should be displayed viewers want to turn it upside down.

The contrast of still black sky and quick bright movement are what makes this photo special.

A vine of flowers

2010-12-12T18:10:00.000+11:00

The bunches of flowers are hanging side ways in this picture. The appearance that the flowers have is the three D technique the painter uses for effect. This effect brings the picture to life and makes you want to touch, smell and pick the flower you like best.

open view card

2010-12-12T18:06:00.000+11:00

Actually a three D, rather large card. The tinsel inbetween giving a highlighted effect. Since the card up front was acting like an open window the shadows actually moved as you walked around the room.

Fairy homes

2010-12-12T18:03:00.000+11:00

Created by a bunch of younger Girl Guides looking at their traditons and origins the Guides chose the mushrooms and fairy story to make up a display. When all the glue had dried this two week project hung on the wall for a term.

Raised rectangle lines

2010-12-12T18:00:00.000+11:00

More bricks within squares. Actually rectangles would be more specific. When I run my eye along the inbuilt rectangles there presents a wavey travelling path for the outline. Check it out.

ladder hanging there

2010-12-12T17:57:00.000+11:00

not sure if this ladder was a piece of art waiting to be expressed or just there for saftey reasons. Was fasinated as to the lines within lines concepts this picture presents.

Even the shadows seem to make the picture confusing and appear upside down. [Actually its the color of the mixted morter appearing dark along the upper part of the photo.

Just hanging there

2010-12-12T17:53:00.000+11:00

At first I thought this sculpture was a bat. Now I am not so sure. It could have been a bug hanging there on the Science faculty of Caulfied University.

Going batty

2010-12-12T17:51:00.000+11:00

On the wall of the Science faculty at Caulfield University are wire sculptures. This one is of a bat. These are huge creations as in the wings themselves are taller than I am.

Posters on a round notice board. Strange angle to take a photo from but the effect works. Feels like your going up in the world.

Move around

2010-12-12T17:47:00.000+11:00

Caulfield University in Melbourne has these 6 foot ( 2 meter) tall round posts [ at least a two arm span wide]. Most are covered in posters flapping in the wind. All you want to do is move around them while you are reading the blurb.

Colors in a circle

2010-12-12T17:44:00.000+11:00

This needle point work was hanging on the wall at the Melbourne Show 2010. As you walked into the area the effect of this piece was to engulf you while you thought you were standing still. All I wanted to do was feel the picture.

Lots of bits

2010-12-12T17:40:00.000+11:00

I found this on the web somewhere. So full of movemen, as in death and destruction, in front of a peaceful sunset.
