SURVEY THIRTEEN
Balcony of Daydreams was a major studio work as part of my Degree based on an Adelaide mansion: Carrick Hill at Springfield. The interior space has rich layers of history as it houses an interior balcony and stairways that dates back to fourteenth century England. Again my work is a journey with interior space. The balcony and its shadow allow the viewer to move in a vertigous manner along its great expanse, visiting the various rooms which trails the length of the work.

Diary note;" I am looking at architecture that has connectedness to space. Paul Downton designed Christy Walk in Sturt St, Adelaide, his architectural design has the user/dweller completely in mind, he allows the user to cross the psychological threshold into the architects plan. His utopian ideals allows people to make cities- even using Hay Bale materials, built to be adaptable to incorporate grey water reuse, solar heat, water storage and eco/ techno possibilities. These small works are about the people who live in their built environment with connectedness. Purchase this group of six $1000

My reading has been about the imagination when we were children. Exploring places and spaces, a world of wonder and experiences both sad and happy. The memories are many and Carrick Hill near Adelaide reminds me of those memories. The lived experience within the interior allows the viewer to enjoy the idea of the piano playing and resounding through the space. Framed

The Adelaide Arcade was a place that became part of the experiment to find if a space could deny the geometrics, here the walls and floor seem to lift and move to embrace the sitters.
