"The work of Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) explores the role that our perception of the world plays in how we co-produce reality. At his Berlin studio, Eliasson works together with a diverse team of specialized craftsmen, architects, researchers and art historians to create his wide-ranging artistic practice. His installations, sculptures, paintings and photographs often draw from ephemeral materials – like water, fog and light – to enlist the viewer in actively shaping the experience.
The twenty circular shelters, three single rings and two double rings that make up this site-specific artwork appear at first glance to be scattered about the desert landscape at random. They are, however, positioned according to the axes of a fivefold symmetrical pattern, with the ten shelters at the center forming a pentagram. The principles behind such patterns were recently discovered by mathematicians in the West although they may have informed some of the sophisticated designs found in Islamic cultures since medieval times.
The underside of the circular roofs is covered with mirror panels, reflecting the curved segment of pipe that supports the roof. This creates a visual illusion of the pipes doubling into full rings, linking the real landscape with the reflected space. Visitors standing in the shade of the roofs may experience a moment of disorientation, glimpsing themselves and their surroundings reflected upside down in the roofs above." from Qatar Museums qm.org.qa/en/

Participants were asked to write on a post it note an idea which they would take away from the day. These are the post it notes from people who were inspired by Seb Chan’s presentation.
I am exploring aspects of human intelligence for my A2 perception project, so I decided to represent this through this piece of work.
I painted a side profile view of a person with arcrylic on a background of news paper. I found a mixture of circular metal disks, nuts, and washers which I decided to add to my piece to give it a 3D look.
I then painted on other different types of coggs in to the brain area with gold and silver arcrylic. I painted some on cardboard to add variety and make the piece more interesting.
I decided to portray the brain like a series of coggs working together to show visually that the brain is a constantly working mechanism as well as a vital part of the body.
This is a piece of work that I have done in my sketchbook of A3 size.
