Darcy said his work titled ‘The Apprentice’ is constructed from recycled materials including wood and political newspaper clippings. “It explores the relationship between Trump and Putin and the political situation at the moment,” Darcy said. “The work as a whole shows the influence of exterior sources over Trump’s regime.” Darcy said the caricature of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, contains 400 political phrases, based on Putin’s 400-page book, ‘Words That Change the World’. Also submitted for marking is Taylor Garemyn’s set of five portraits titled ‘Morning Rituals’. Taylor said the inspiration for her work comes from the ‘useless time consuming’ task of putting on makeup in the morning. “It is about body image, I aimed to make the audience feel the pain that is being inflicted on the woman in the portraits as she conducts her morning ritual of doing her hair and makeup,” Taylor said. “The pinks represent the stereotypical feminine colour and the black backgrounds are used to advert the viewer’s attention to the faces in the portraits.” Taylor said the embroidery technique gives a 3D element to the paintings. Other BCS major works submitted for marking include Bonnie Hay’s collection of six artworks consisting of an etching, drawings, photographs and embroidery to represent her life journey so far. Jessica Chalker chose family as the theme for her five paintings which include her parents’ wedding, portraits of her sisters and a family reunion.
