Week 7: poster-tastic

"It is better to meet the challenge than to fail; to meet the challenge is the true essence of life."

As befits my occasional self-indulgence, I slightly tweaked the challenge to fit the undulations of my life this week. But, if an airport counts as a public space, and "welcome back to Sydney" counts as a valid message to communicate to arriving family, then I'm sure I've stuck to the spirit of things:

SATURDAY (Sophie's arrival)




SUNDAY (Barbara's arrival):




What the photos don't show is just how many people in the airport stared at my poster, their brows slightly furrowed as they tried to interpret my art, which has been described by my esteemed critic T.A-W. as "childlike". For the art-lovers amongst you, the poster depicts Sydney's famous sights, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, though they may not be immediately recognisable to the naive viewer as I have depicted them from unusual angles from which no-one has ever viewed them before.

Love, ali x
