Designed Objects

An individual work or series of works with a focus on 3D object design. This expressive form includes wearables, jewellery, architectural design and product design (Visual Arts Stage 6 Syllabus).

In 2019, students submitting a Body of Work in this expressive form revealed a continued increase in the number of constructed environments and architectural investigations. The use of applications of digital technologies such as laser cutting/etching, 3D printing and CAD drawing systems to realise and produce components as a whole or in part were highly evident. Through the use of LED lights and light boxes combining graphic design elements as a strategy to layer concept, multimodal forms of representation extended concepts even further. Works that synthesised technologies as a means to realise products or interpret global issues made a direct reference to the art world with a focus on modernity, particularly architecture.

The ways in which we recognise styles of artists and characteristics of iconic artworks are fundamentally by colour, shape and texture. For ArchModernist, I selected one modern artist and one modern/contemporary architect as inspiration for five original architectural designs to explore parallels in practices in the depiction of non-representative form. My body of work was created using laser-cutting technology and light and space to highlight the transcendence of concepts across artistic and architectural works. My work is a homage to modernists of both the art and architectural world, and establishes that there is a universal communication of ideas in the contemporary context.

My body of work has a refined, simple, weightless aesthetic that represents a harmonious marriage between modern technological advancement and an organic language of natural elements through form. These works are a dynamic sculptural form of architecture, indicating the possibilities for the design and construction of contemporary buildings. My intention is to design buildings that develop out of their natural surroundings, to promote greater coherence between the individual and their environment. All forms take on a minimalistic aesthetic using reductive design elements with minimal ornamentation, to return the audience’s focus to the natural composition of the land.
