Hay's Galleria

This is The Navigator by David Kemp in 1987. Its a commemoration sculpture at Hay's Galleria to reflect the shipping heritage in the area. The sculpture evolves when coins are loaded heavily inside the mouth of the bird figure and triggers the machine. The materials used have that medieval effect which reminds me of Leonardo Davinci's works.

Theo Jansen: The Art Of Creating Creatures

This is a great invention by Theo Jansen, a new form of creature that are able to survive on their own on the shores. It is also a new type of transport made of electricity tube and it gets its energy from sustainable resources. It also has it's own brain using recycled bottles to detect moisture and obstacle opposing its path. The purpose of this invention is something to leave behind when mankind no longer walks the earth. This really shocked me because it is something I would do.

There will be an exhibition at Arc about raise of awareness in rising of sea level starting 15.04.10 until 28.04.10. They will show research on impact of flooding, varieties of solution to avoid them and some safety products for homes.

Back To The Past

This is a set up of the Fruit Market during the early 20th century at the Streetlife Musuem. They used some of the original tools, equipments, clothings and transports. The people is made of wax and the fruit is made of plastic. I took my time there and it felt as if I was travelling back to the past.

Hull Forward 2

Hull Forward had lift up a billboard at the public for the regeneration of the Fruit Market area. It says, 'life will be brought back to the historic Fruit Market in a way that celebrates its rich past, creating a vibrant new place of distinction in which to live, work and visit'. Huge event will take place soon just like last year's Clipping Race celebration.

This is a concept art and a small model of a sculpture I designed. I was involved with ARC regeneration program. The group work was expect to create a temporary piece using the theme 'light'. This design imitate the shape of a seed and emit beams of light from the core. The design symbolises the rise of community spirit in the regeneration area.

T-bird

I designed this car using Doug Chiang's drawing techniques. Its a 21st century Thunderbird because the headlights has similar concept to the 20th century.

Fighter Ship

This is a spaceship also designed by Doug Chiang. Here I learned how to use perspective lines and play around with shapes. The laws of physics don't play an important role when creating great fictional designs.

R-robot

This is a concept art of a robot originally designed by Doug Chiang. I drew this by following his rendering techniques using marker pens and watercolor. It thought me how to convert organic form to mechanical form.
