Final Concept: Above Studio

Artist: Rosalie Gascoigne
Keyword: Monotonous
Art Piece: All Summer Long
Materials: Timber, plywood, concrete.

The above studio is inspired by Rosalie Gascoigne, taking into consideration the important attributes and material elements from her work, in particular focusing on her art piece All Summer Long. The overall premise of this space was to focus on Gascoigne's explorative escape on Australian landscape. She is known to have discovered personal freedom through the means of witnessing the diversity of landscapes, in particular the visual depiction of Australian outback which is the main attribute taken as inspiration.

Creating a sense of space and openness to the outside world was the main objective. Since Gascoigne uses landscapes as inspiration, it was imperative to allow a view to the outside world. The large floor to ceiling windows also allow the constant cycle from morning, noon, and night, and keeps intact the sensation of the horizon. Biased on her work, All Summer Long, which captivates the long dry spells of the outback, most of surfacing and overall detailing are harmonious and soft. 

Keeping with the attribute of monotonous, the tonal pallet is limited, while keeping to the warmth feeling timber and plywood contributes.
