I just had a group discussion with Michael and a few others. We spoke about Dunedin and its heritage, architecture, and a few iconic biuldings. During this consultation I thought about where the project was heading and it seems to be definitely a literal drawing project. Large scale charcoal, I wouldnt mind playing with more transparent mediums to draw on also.
Now is a time to really start creating and producing. I may narrow my subject now to Churches. Raised high, elevated into Dunedin celebrity status.

churches in dunedin
Churches in Dunedin have become very iconic due to the fact that it says a lot about our European settlement and heritage. i see these buildings also as a way for the architect/ creator to speak loudly about their presence on earth. Don't get me wrong I think they are fantastic sculptural forms and great to look at but I think in all churches and most religions its a case of being heard (or seen) as grand and powerful. For Dunedin these buildings hold their own uniqueness for being younger, built less than 150years old in comparrison to the majority in the mother land i'd imagine. It had become a strong tourist pull for Dunedin, 'The First City Tour' cruises round the city almost purely to look at the buildings. etc
more google
These are a series of images taken from google earth which I find quite interesting as far as a 3d perspective, and how fast the site/ company are growing. The 3d images are still a long way off but they give you a pretty clear indication of how a city would feel landscape-wise. it wont be long.
Dunedin glam
The Glowing Arthur Barnett's horse.
One of my favorite Dunedin-sub celebrities. its one of the classy neon signs in town and has become very much an icon of Dunedin and even New Zealand.
