WORKSHOP#3 - FINAL
HEALING
Similar to the natural environment Australia used to be more than 200 years ago, people have constructed buildings and roads. With awareness to global warming and relevant environmental issues impacting the future of the human race (as well as other living organisms), tree-planting is used as a restore nature. However, upon re-construction, though it may seem as a whole unit itself, it is inevitable that changes have occurred and would never return to the original form.
My material exploration with balsawood is used simply by tearing/breaking a strip of wood and piecing it back. To portray my idea of healing and the aspect of change, pieces have deliberately been omitted during the re-construction.

WORKSHOP#3 - WEEK 3
Body, Space , City
This A2 collage depicts my journey on the city streets where I found an interest in the paradoxical existence of the natural environment within the predominately built area we associate with the urban context of "City Centre".
There is an interplay of the "folds of nature" highlighted by the trees standing freely in the park, lined along York Street, accompanying the nearby church, office buildings and shops. Within such a busy and people-populated location, it may seem that trees have been merely overlooked and forgotten. However, upon this evocative journey, the trees appeared to have dominated my vision of the city I used to refer to with its shopping departments and exclusive brands.
The water ornaments located in Circular Quay flows under this idea of folds and continuity, metaphorically portraying "waters" of the "solid pleats of natural geography" from Deleuze's "The Fold - Leibniz and the Baroque". This physical representation of the natural environment appealed the sensual experience of the whole body, through its coolness, fluidity, and its calming yet enlivening sounds it makes as it flows down to the fountain basin.
This expedition has become paramount in the way I correlate with the term "City Centre" in that the natural environment has its speciality in representing the once non-contaminated Earth we have come to build on as "land-owning inhabitants".
WORKSHOP#3 - WEEK 2
"A fold is always folded within a fold like a cavern in a cavern"
...from "The Fold: Leibniz and the baroque" by Gilles Deleuze
...inspired by the Japan Pavilion by architect Shigeru Ban
