My design aims to express the creativity of the artists within, while also serving as an inspirational backdrop for the public visiting the gallery. The top studio is created through a repetition of organic shapes. I intentionally made this space quite open and public, as I aimed to introduce a new type of 'gallery culture' in which the audience can be in direct contact with the artist. Rosalie Gascoigne's works often reflect the everyday life through her themes and materials, and so could take inspiration from seeing people move in and out of the building. The stairs linking the top studio and gallery, as explained below, also serves as an exhibition space through various platforms, where the public can move in and out of the works as they please. The exterior texture of the gallery continues the organic theme, as does the 'webbing' between the studio and gallery.
The lower studio is more private and is quite extensive in scale. It expresses the word satirical because the shape of the underground studio is perhaps amongst the most impractical of all. This is furthered with the motif of the rock wall throughout, which again, plays with the distinction between practicality and impracticality. It is in a way, making a satire out of its occupants. Due to the multiple layers of platforms, the public will be able to walk through the higher levels of the studio while the artist works mainly at the bottom. As Fiona Hall creates an extensive variety of work, the various platforms may be used to separate between the different media she uses while working, or for further display of her work.
