Today was by far one of the best days i've had in a while.

I headed down with some of my best friends (Mad, Jay, Em, Nick and Josh) in my art class and our two beautiful art teachers to see the SERVE THE PEOPLE exhibit in the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale, Sydney. We had to write an essay on it last term so it was great to see the works after learning so much about them through a computer screen. The images i'd seen prior by no means conveyed the impressiveness of the work's magnitude and just shear quality and wow-factor. 

My favourite works would have to be two of the works i've shown here - the textile and fabric work that brought a sort of tapestry to 3D life with amazing and mesmerising colour, and the room installation containing the miscellany of printed cards and the broken statue of Mao Ze Dong. These were just two of the amazing and impressive works. 

It was great to be able to wander around the gallery, talking about the ever so daunting HSC and our possibilities however in such an inspiring and relaxing atmosphere. 

If you're in the Chippendale area i'd highly recommend going to the exhibit as it's only got a few weeks left. 

After the gallery we headed to a cute Chinese restaurant which was beautiful (and we may or may not have become VIP's while we were there - no biggie :P). The interior was gorgeous with blacks and browns and the food was even better! I also learnt how to use chopsticks properly! This was a big moment for me after failing to pick up my dumplings correctly my entire life haha

We then ended up down at the Rocks, strolling around and soaking up the sun on this beautiful Sydney day on the harbour. 

All in all, it was a beautiful day - just what I needed to get my head away from my desk and out into the fresh air. 

SIDE NOTE

I'm going to be starting a youtube channel, which will be featuring videos of me giving you guys ALL things fashion. However, my first video will be of some footage I shot today! So stay tuned and i'll be posting the link around everywhere once everything's sorted.

Closer than Close

 

As promised, these are my photos i'm submitting for my art project tomorrow. The theme was 'representations of the body' and this is what I have come up with.

Closer than Close

It is what exists internally, the traits, that directly influence your life. The body is merely the host to these characteristics. Through the body we can symbolise the importance of our actions and how they influence other's lives. I photographed four of the most influential people in my life - photographing the part of the body that symbolises how they have shaped who I am today. To them, I would like to say thank you.

Thankyou for being the strong one and for always keeping me grounded.

Thankyou for injecting laughter into my life and advising me on all situations.

Thankyou for being my shoulder to cry on and providing your endless support. 

Thankyou for always offering your assistance and guiding me through my life.

natural beauty

These are just some quick photos I took on an adventure around the grounds of my school with Jason for art. Sometimes I feel like my school is more an extraordinary and immaculately-kept garden rather than an education service. The grounds sure are beautiful though :)
