Sidney Nolan - Central Australia.
This is just my opinion on his work. In a simplistic way his work is rough but elegant, using strong set of colours in this case a mixture of red and blue. In some of his other works the subject of the painting is usually cartoon like; this is especially true in his work of Ned Kelly, of this doesn't soften some of the themes as some of the Ned Kelly paintings shows scenes of killing.
Patricia Piccinini - Nest
In this piece the material used is fiberglass. Her work usually deals with themes such as bioethics and biotechnology. The steps that was involved in this piece I think was; she started by studying the shapes of the two subjects (scooter and cow/deer), followed by sketches of which positions the parental and child will take, refine the sketches to show the affection showed by the parental towards the child, made a mold for both, casted the mold then finally painting them.
