ADA Staff Awards - Charmed Flower Clouds

This year I had the pleasure to design awards for our faculty end of year staff awards. There are 18 awardees chosen for their outstanding achievements in education and research.

The concept of my design is to visually reflect a sense of place through referencing floral nature endemic to where our campuses are situated on the Bedegal and Gadigal land of the Eora Nation.

Australian flowers are distinctive for their colour, form and shape. In the design you can an assortment of floral arrangement including; the waratah, the flannel flower, the wattle and grevillea.

Flowers are ubiquitous and symbolic markers of time and place. In essence, they communicate beauty, growth and auspicious to the environment, people and our culture.

The flowers are framed within the cloud motif, I like it for its phenomenal abstract form. It is a shape depicted in art and design conveying the infinite and connectedness. The sense of the sky.
