For project three I took a lot of time observing and studying many buildings and locations in Australia that reflect gathering areas and galleries. When I came across Federation Square in Melbourne I was very inspired as the building was very freely designed in accordance to the facade, and this also supported Michael Whitehead's theory of design; Where large blocks of colour (in this case planes) may be layered to capture or reflect light, or a moody palate is employed where the under-painting appears to be attempting to break through to provide a fleeting glimpse of a secret world beneath.
Every stroke, every line, is intended to leave a record of its journey. Whitehead strives to have his works exhibit no fear of exposing their inner selves, the ‘complexity of construction’ if you like, of how they came to be. And this statement conveying Whitehead's theory of his abstracts is reflected very strongly within the Federation Square and my Art Gallery Shop.
