Quotes from the clients

Stephen Hawkings

"My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all." 1

Jane Goodall


"Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved." 2

Florence Nightingale

"You ask me why I do not write something.... I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results." 3

Sidney Nolan's painting "The Trial" (1947) used enamel paint on composition board. Enamel is an oil based paint. The painting is appoximatetly 1.1 meters squared. This means that it is about regular size so it would not have taken a really long time to paint. The use of enamel paint will give the painting a glossy look, which will make the bright colours standout.


Patricia Piccinni's painting "Green Landscape" is part of a collection in the "Protien Lattice" exhibition in 1997. These series of paintings must have taken a long time to paint, but individually it wouldn't take long compared to other similar sized paintings. The paintings have a finish similar to that of Sidney Nolan's indicating she may have used an oil based paint.

This was one of projects for design and technology at school. It was to create a foot stool out of wood. After being over excited I made some mistakes and my foot stool didn't end up like the one in the plan. But I still got a good mark showing me that good things can happen from mistakes.




This building is called the "Crooked House" which is fairly obvious why when you look at it. The house was designed by a Polish architect Szotynscy Zaleski. This house was inspired from illustrations in a fairytale by Han Marcin Szancer. This building really inspired me because of its unique look and how it shows that almost anything is possible in architecture.



This papaya tree is an expression of the beauty of nature. This tree was grown in my backyard and is about 5 years old. The tree is a deviant as it has many branches coming from the roots instead of a single trunk which most papaya trees have. Although I hate the fruit, the strangeness is something I find beautiful.
