c) an original photograph of something beautiful

All of my life I have lived in the rural town of Lithgow in the Blue Mountains. I was born and raised here, and it has had a massive influence on my awareness of nature and the countryside. This photograph was taken where I used to go for afternoon runs - my escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It wasn't until I had moved to Sydney for university that I realised how beautiful the mountains really are, and how important the landscape was in shaping my way of life. I used to love looking at the roads below, and how they followed the contours of the mountain. It was so interesting to see how humans had built these roads so that they would work harmoniously with the mountainside.

b) a great piece of architecture

This piece of architecture formed the basis of the development of my interest in landmark architecture. Studying this widely recognised building as part of my early years at primary school, it was one of the first buildings to catalyse my interest in architecture. I love the idea that these iconic buildings can be so easily recognised and the city that it is part of. The relationship between materials, the exoskeleton form, and the landscape in the Burj-Al Arab is something that I am extremely interested in.

a) best piece of creative work

Each of us, to some degree, is a product of our life experiences. They shape our personalities, worldview and ambitions. The basis of my work is 135 family photos of my experiences and rights of passage - a window into my psyche. Gestural strokes with a palette knife encapsulate nostalgic childhood experiences and the emotionally-fuelled transition towards adulthood. The style of this work owes its inspiration in part to the works of Chuck Close and Ben Quilty.
