Glass with pattern on it and Concrete coloured in white are the main material I have used in the Art gallery for two artists, Fiona Hall and Tracey Moffat. Hall and Moffat both concerned with social, political and cultural issues that related to the society. Both artists’ uses material and media as a metaphor in many of her artworks. They want the viewer to think and reflect on the viewer’s social and environmental responsibility towards the world. Therefore, they emphasis on the viewer's thoughts and feelings. Glass is a good material that gives a harmonic relationship between the artist, the artwork, the building, the environment and the society, unifying all the elements of the city. Natural Sunlight gives warmth to the people who stay inside, and provides natural light and shadow to the artwork which allows the viewer to have different perspective at different period of time. Besides, the glass reveals a reflection of a cloud, sky and people when they walk by and the tall, industrial building of the city. I chose white concrete because white is a feminine colour and symbolize purity and unique. White is the best colour to describe Hall and Moffat’s artwork.
