Sketches

I only managed to sketch two drawings during my site visit that day. I have to rush back for some important event. Anyway, what made me to choose to draw these two sketches?


This first sketch is about an old machine that found at Cockatoo Island, near the site of where I am gonna built my pavillion. What is interesting about this old machine, eventhough it is already old and could not be used I believe, it is actually has its own artistic value. By just looking at it, when could actually dig in into the history of the place, a place where maritime lifestyle was once the most important industry at the island.

Besides, the design of the machine which slightly looks like the 'transformers', would surely attracting every single eye that passing through. The shape is very unique, looks like a robotic element. Furthermore, the patina covered its body has actually boost up it artistic value besides just being a plain and lame machine.



The second sketches was about the two contra elements due to different textures. This drawing was sketched when I was walking on the steel deck at the Plateau. This place is located at the pathway in between the industrial building and near the cliff of the Upper Island.

When I passed through the place, my attention was caught with the hard and solid yellowish textures of the sandstones on my right contrary with the texture on my life which is plain but being repeated in the corrugated way. Plus, the shining texture of the steel or maybe aluminium of the pathway makes the place to be something full of artistic elements, and going to be something that is every art-lovers waiting for.

Thus, based on this I beleive, to be chosen as the site for one of the most popular art event like Syndey Biannale, Cockatoo Island is definitely a right place to be chosen as the host.
