MCA

23/06/2012

I finally went to MCA after it finished renovating, the view is really great especially if you are on the right lift and on Level 4's verandah. Level 3 is not complete, so I only saw the second floor's collection. I really liked Robert Owen's piece, something about the colours and it contrasting from each other. I don't know, in a way it inspired me. "Live life colourful" in some weird sort of way. But my favourite two pieces particularly were the shell slippers and the china sculpture.  

 Shellworked Slippers is by Esme Timbery an Aboriginal artist. 

 A close up of one of her pairs, my photos seem to have a yellow tint in them.

My second favourite is China, China by Alyxse? (unfortunately I can't remember)
This sculpture just really spoke to me, maybe its the whole second culture identity shit? I think she was born overseas and now lives in Australia. But I just really love it. The detail, the design, the delicateness of it all. Sometimes I really wish that I was able to express myself artistically. Be able to paint or draw or scalp. In Vicky Christina Barcelona, Christina says:

You know, I can appreciate art and I love music, but...
It's sad, really,
because I feel like I have
a lot to express
and I am not gifted.
Woody Allen just understands me so much sometimes. But all my artistic friends tell me to stop thinking and just do. One day.

Afterwards I joined a friend for Pizza at the Pizza Hut buffet and spent 3 hours at Galaxy World.
