The Ring...




2D to 3D.
Imagination to Reality.
Distance to Closeness.
Sympathy to Empathy.
Slightly Touch to Dynamically Impact.
How!... How?... How!?!?

Sydney Biennale 2008...



Cockatoo Island...
Every time i attend the Sydney Biennale there seems to be mixed emotions of joy and anger... Perhaps it will be better if i were to leave all anticipation and excitement and attend it with no expectation at all... All in all... with the Biennale pros and cons fly all over the place leaving you with the complexity of questioning what 'contemporaneity' is...
But on another note... Cockatoo Island is really an amazing space... The are so many buildings and mazes of tunnels, halls and doors. I just wonder why there wasn't MORE works of art at Cockatoo Island. They were so spread out and hidden. To me i guess Cockatoo Island was more aesthetic in space than the art works provided. Other than Keith Richardson's work which was site specific, the huge blocks of old empty ghostly looking vacant spaces were so visually aesthetic. I now definitely know for a fact that i want to do an installation of some sort....

Polaroid Snaps...



The Polaroid is aesthetic on many values...
1. Instant development on film... very cool indeed!
2. When shot close enough the flash hides all unnecessary flaws (eg. redness, pimples)
3. The soft colours are amazing...
(Polaroid develops automatically photoshop-ed)

Flats or Heels?



But you know the devil wears Prada.

Physical and Mental Space...



Freedom is what I want...

Lines and the Spaces in between...




The lines create a boundary and space is formed.
To see into something in a deeper level one must go closer. Rather than looking at a large print of a space in a gallery. One must be IN the space to feel the full capacity of the vibe it creates. It would be interesting to see the print come alive as an installation.

Gorgeous?

Looks can be deceiving...

New York City...

Yesterday is History...
Tomorrow is a Mystery...
Today is a Gift, thats why we call it the Present.

The Immigrant...

Aka: #1, Jigkoidiara
She will be gone and she shall be missed...
But I will remember her as perfect.

I Heart MOMA


The great thing about most galleries in New York is that you can take pictures. The MOMA has 6 glorious levels of art that you can snap away.

If you have only known the textbook version of Pollock, The Wheel or The Campbell soup tins, going away to see these in real life should be added to your bucket list.

However not all the artworks are snap free.
All but the 6 prints of Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol.
