What was the inspiration behind your work?
I was inspired by using existing infrastructure to connect my natural environment to my local community, which is where I got the idea about designing a utility box wrap.
Tell us about the creative process you took with your work.
Firstly, I consulted with a local business which gave me a basic design brief that I could work with which was flora and fauna. I then researched different artists suitable for this type of design. I adapted these designs using Photoshop and Indesign to achieve a scaled utility box. I then had further contact with my client (local business) to finalise the end product. I produced my final product using Photoshop program to rearrange my design to scale.
What advice would you have to Stage 2 Visual Arts students in 2020?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your work. Having someone else’s opinion is so important for a design brief. Be creative and think outside the box.
What pathway have you taken after your SACE?
I will be studying a Diploma of Interior Design at TAFE in semester 2. I have also been active in introducing myself to Adelaide interior design companies. This has been my passion for a very long time. I would love to eventually work as an interior designer for a professional interior design business.
