My new artwork for design competition
The competition was ran by a building company and an NT newspaper.
The winning work would be displayed on four 8x35m metal panels on the ends of two apartment towers in Darwin.
The theme was loose but had to reflect the Territory in one way or another.
The
judges were to select 5 finalists and then the public vote for the
winner, with the winner receiving $10,000.
I incorporated the building's name, Spirit & Soul into my concept:
To me the
strongest impression of Darwin that I first noticed when I moved here and will
stay with me, is the contrast in weather and the feelings that the weather
evokes - the red hot sunsets of orange, violet and pink hues; the stormy
turbulent blue, grey skies that threaten to explode. My atmospheric paintings show the varying
skies that present themselves daily to Territorians. I have attempted to
express the colours of the skies and the feelings these colours evoke.
I believe
the NT weather is part of Territorians' daily lives thus encompassing the spirit
and soul of the Territory.
When the NT
is discussed I find that we always, in some point of the conversation talk
about the weather. To me, this shows
that it is an important and powerful theme, forming the spirit and soul
of place and should be celebrated.
The four below represent the exciting constantly changing NT skies - vibrant sunsets and storm. I created them as diptychs.
I designed these to be in in 4 panels.

I did not get through
unfortunately. Here were the finalists..
and the winner is....
