Analysis of Staples Sydney opera house installation

This piece has been created by Staples and is of the Sydney opera house, it is made up entirely of stationary. I really like this piece as it is very bright and eye-catching which makes it memorable, what also makes it a memorable piece is that it is created using such interesting and unusual materials. I particularly like the use of the blue post-it notes for the ocean and the sky as although they are very flat two-dimensional objects, they are layered in a way that gives the illusion of three-dimensions and depth to the piece. The use of colour is very good, I like how bright and bold the colours are, it gives this piece a happy, lively feel. The brightness of the colours and use of warm tones within this piece symbolise the warm, sunny weather of Australia and brings the piece to life as by looking at it you can almost feel the hotness of the scene radiating from the installation. A variety of techniques have been used in order to create this final effect, the broad range of materials and techniques really work well together and complement each other in an interesting way. This piece of work shows the creative side of stationary and proves that even mundane, every-day objects can be manipulated and put together to form something beautiful, complex and artistic. This piece is definitely an inspiration, I particularly like the way the bridge has been constructed from bull dog clips and other small solid objects that wouldn't normally be used in this way. I would love to have a go at creating a similar piece using other every-day objects or even experiment with stationary just like the artist has here.
