Parsley Bay Original Painting

This is a painting I did in 2010 of Parsley Bay which I was motivated to do as it was and still is a special place for me. It's a place I visit frequently with friends to unwind and appreciate the simple and free things in life which I am certain are of the most true value. The painting was primarily done to immortalize a time in my life and serves as a link to the relaxed state of mind that takes over me when I am able to visit Parsley Bay.

Under the Bridge

My original photo "of something beautiful". This photo was taken on my phone camera during the 2012 Vivid Lights Festival. I was in the city with friends ignorant of the festival when, on our way to Darling Harbour, we passed under this bridge/tunnel and saw giant flowers being projected onto the walls in a way that they seemed almost opaque and were made to move as if from the wind (this was also accompanied by ambient music). I took a photo with my phone because I was taken by surprise at this space which was suddenly transformed into a public art gallery by this temporary installation. The photo remained on my phone forgotten until the task of 'posting an original photo of something beautiful' at which point it shot back into my mind.

UN Studios - Living Tomorrow Pavillion

I stumbled upon this building whilst in Amsterdam and it certainly struck my attention. The building acts as an exhibition building for "the house and office of the future" and so understandably takes risks in design as it's context is not supposed to be the present but an imagined glimpse of the future from the architects. The design also strikes me as interesting as vertical and horizontal space flow together rather than being more clearly defined. Image from: http://www.unstudio.com/projects/living-tomorrow
