Olsen Irwin would like to congratulate Paul Davies for his high commendation in the New World Chippendale Art Prize. The Chippendale New World Art Prize represents the advent of a new world where art spreads across all arenas to create new possibilities. Chippendale has undergone a tremendous transformation from its simple beginnings as an industrial suburb to what is now a landscape of creative ventures spanning contemporary art galleries to innovative visual technologies. The Chippendale New World Art Prize stems from a ten-year donation of $100,000 by arts philanthropist and current Executive Chairman of Greencliff Pty Ltd, Dr Stanley Quek. Since its inception in 2013, this Art Prize fosters excellence for all creative individuals and agencies, working in formal or informal fields of practice. Paul Davies received highly commended for his work ?'Feb 10, 21c mostly sunny, 10:16a.m. 7 mins exposure, outside ceramic studio' 
In February, Davies was awarded the artist residency at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Phoenix. Responding to the notion of 'organic architecture', he created a series of 24 photograms, one per day at various locations around of the property. Sunlight and moonlight are captured at different locations onto paper painted with gum bichromate, a photosensitive solution developed in the 1800's. Using a stencil cut from the photo of the exterior of the Frank Lloyd Wright building, the image was reduced to a silhouette, blending architecture and landscape.
