Dreams
(detail) Leongatha Secondary College, Leongatha |
NGV: Olivia what are you doing this year? O:
Well this year I am still at school at Leongatha SC. I am studying a bit
of arts a bit of media, mainly just to help build up my folio and go to
university.
O: Yeah, so it's a big year! NGV: With regard to your work that you last year, did you have difficulty finding something to work on? O: No I didn't actually, because I've always had an interest in dreams. That was my topic and in year 10 I was doing an anthology, so that helped create this theme and I just love finding out about dreams and the spiritual aspects of dreaming and the mysteries...and also it kind of reflects my work.
NGV: So for the piece of work that has made it into Top Arts. It was basically dreams that influenced you when starting this piece? O: And also I think dreams have a double meaning. It reflects on your life.
|
NGV: So your work almost reveals something that's there and maybe not there at the same time? O: Yeah! Say you have something on your mind and it's troubling you. You seem to dream about it.
NGV: Very courageous thing to do, put your dreams down on paper. O: I suppose...I would go home and wonder what I will dream tonight. NGV: Interesting, having deciding on that thing did any particular artist inspire you? O: Being out in the country we didn't go to many galleries or museums. Mr Paul Satchell, my teacher, he just brought up a few prints and mainly most of them are Jeff Ficados. So I guess he influenced me in a way, with the one called Tiger. Where he scratched the back and that kind of highlighted it. |
