Creative Works

These are plans, taken from my portfolio that I submitted for the Alternative entry, while it's not one of my most creative works, it allowed me to come here to learn and follow my passion. I began drawing this a week before the submission for Alternative entry was due to close. I spent the whole week stressing and swearing and bashing my head against my desk. Saying I wasn't good enough, I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be finished in time. But I persevered through it and submitted it on time. And now I am studying here.

The State Library of Victoria opened in 1854 designed by Joseph Reed. Reed was a prominent architect in Melbourne, designing the Melbourne Town Hall, Royal Exhibition Building (Which housed the first Parliament in Australia), Scots Church  and many more historical and important landmarks of Melbourne. I first visited this building in 2008 when I was 13 and scale of the La Trobe Reading Room (pictured above) was grand and airy and full of light, hidden away behind a sandstone exterior only to reveal itself upon entering the through the lobby. I didn't get to see this building again until I was 22 and the awe and wonder and majesty of  the reading room still made my heart swell.

I don't know if I would call this image traditionally beautiful, but I find some beauty in it. I remember taking this in Degraves Street, Melbourne on my last night there. The vibrant orange moped in the dingy alley, just seem to stand out and contrast so well with its surroundings.
