RHIZOME by Richard Goodwin

Environment, Travel, Complicated
This is a photograph taken on Kensington, Sydney during sunset. The photo illustrates an apartment along the busy street of Anzac Parade. In my point of view the apartment is influenced by the Red House in London during the Arts and Crafts Movement and Bauhaus Architecture. Red bricks were used as a construction materials for the Red House as well as the apartment to illustrates the concept 'Honest to Materials'. The use of grey colour, steel, glass and the cubic shape of the apartment are the concepts of Bauhaus Architecture.

A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

This is the Montreal Biosphere, Canada, 1967. The architect of this master piece was Richard Buckminster Fuller. The dome shape is designed using the concept of 'TENSEGRITY' which is taken from the word Tens(ion) and (Int)egrity by R. Buckminster Fuller. Architect Richard Buckminster Fuller stated that domes are energy-efficiency and ease of construction. The Montreal Biosphere is used as an Environment Museum since 1990.

My art work

This is one of my favourite art work which is designed to worn on the body to express sorrow. This art work is made out of discarded materials which is one of the criteria for this project. With the use of grey materials, this design expresses the period when sadness is subsiding. The teardrop shape is tightly wrapped to signify the struggle to free oneself from sorrow and the dark wings illustrate freedom itself.
