MODEL MAKING WORKSHOP
Each week a presented with a new task, I found myself extending my ideas and skills in model making as well as the communication between my ideas and the paper. Culminating in the final task, i decided to convey my thoughts of the workshop through my chosen word = FREEDOM.
I took the word with a negative connotation. Each week the task presented to us were cogent and blatant, however i found myself grappling with the ambiguity and freedom we had within each task. Each week i found myself wrapped in ideas, consuming more and more time with no result. Despite this, in hindsight, the result was always very structured and clear.
My final poster conveyed this, as the background with a sketched maze, symbolising the myriad of ideas that took me no where. Placed on top of the sketch are three pieces of balsa wood, uniformed and structured, symbolising the clear result. Inscribed in the wood are the words "FREEDOM=STRUCTURE." This was my main understanding of what the workshop was about. I conveyed this through my model, a base layered with broken and cut pieces of balsa wood, all combining in the middle to create a structure. The broken pieces of balsa wood represented my ideas - fragmented in my mind till they culminate into a strong structure - the balsa wood is forming this structure, hence symbolising this idea.

ATLAS OF COLOUR WORKSHOP
My atlas was based on my precedent study of Jean Novel, in which i have mimicked his style and compositions in my own atlas. My main colour is red, which i have reverberated throughout my atlas. My tunnel is based on a town in outback Australia called White Cliffs. Due to the heat there, they build their houses underground. I decided to use this space for my tunnel as it was an amazing experience living underground. The corridors are very narrow and beautiful, as one constantly feels like are in a cave. I believed this space also was appropriate for my chosen colour, as red represents heat, as well as the Australian outback.
My name 'red fusion' was influenced by the chosen colour and its amalgamtion into the tasks for each week and the tunnel.
