A brief paragraph on the artists' material practice.

Sir Sidney Nolan and Patricia Piccinini are both distinctive artists, each with a highly developed and specific choice of medium. Whilst I've opted for other works of theirs to insert into my 3D model, the degree of individuality that Nolan and Piccinini have honed means the studio spaces are still more than appropriate for them to work in; afterall, the studio spaces are for the creation of all their works rather than just those selected 3 weeks ago, correct? Nolan's paintings, both Burning Tree (with Ned Kelly) and Ned Kelly 1946, are painted with enamel on composition board. Protein Lattice specifically is a digitally manipulated photograph, although Piccinini often sculpts or paints, it is important she has access to an uncluttered underground studio.
