Vivid Sydney 2014

Some random shots of Vivid festival! There were definitely some cute and quirky installations. I think my favourite was the giant bunnies. The giant bunnies and Gelato Messina. Hehe.

Creation

Hand made brass pin. 

Approx. 3.5cm x 5cm

Pin length Approx. 8.8cm

The Iban people tell of Ara and Irik, two bird spirits floating above an expanse of water at the beginning of time. Seizing two eggs from the water, Ara made the sky from one egg, whille Irik made the earth from the other. As Irik squeezed the earth into its proper size, mountains & rivers appeared on its surface. Then the two creator spirits shaped bits of earth into the first people & woke them to life with bird cries.

Interested in the mythology of birds and creation, I want to make a pin that would encapsulate the story. Taking details from the story and combining them together will visually communicate the idea of creation and birth.

Just some random photos
