This week we had Richard Orjis come in to our lecture today to tell us about himself and his practices. Orjis is a kiwi born who was born and raised in Wanganui. Richard had graduated from Carnegie Mellon University,Pittsburg where he had earned a BVA(bachelors in visual Art). And had recently graduated from A.U (Auckland University) at the Elam School of Fine Arts in 2006 gaining his MFA (Masters in Fine Arts)
Orjis worked for photographer and film maker David LaChapelle and had collaborated on a couple of projects with Cuban American artist Anthony Goicolea

On Nature and Beauty (Surface vs. substance
Orjis talks about how a lot of his works are based
around religion in some way. Orjis says that he doesn’t believe in
modernism… we are always connected to something else…
e.g religion,Christmas etcin this image i really like how he symbolizes the beauty of
humans. and how we are as beautiful beautiful as flowers.well thats what i think. The garden'
focuses on a group of works that use repeated motif of the orchid flower.in these images there
is a sense of danger and darkness but also the reality of natural wonders.The beauty of the
flower catches the veiwer, drawing them closer to the flower.
Overall with Richard’s work I learned
to look at nature from a different perspective and I realize that its shown me to see thing’s differently like why things look the way they do and the way I interpret how people are, syles of clothing they wear etc.
You could do a lot better, instead of looking at other people's notes, try doing some research on Richard.
