Artists and their work

Fiona Hall's work, Paradisus Terrestris, is a collection of small sculptures representing different types of plants. the sculptures are made from tin, for the main body, and aluminium, for the sprouting elements which represents leaves and branches. This work was created from discarded sardine cans, often recycled, and fine pieces of aluminium wire shaped into plant life. Hall used a series of small tools, such as tweezers and pliers, to manipulate the aluminium and created the intricate plant forms and patterns. She also named the works by their scientific botany names.

Tracey Moffat's work, Fourth, is a collection of photographs from the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney. It documents the wide range of emotions experienced by athlete's finishing fourth, through a series of photographs. Moffat did so by being commissioned by the Australian Olympic Committee as a photographer, which gave her exclusive access to press galleries and exclusive content. She arranged many of the photos, including my example, in layers, with a range of figures shown on top of one another, in order to contrast the emotions of the winners, and those who missed out.
