Here are some pieces of work I felt inspired by to develop elements of my work in new directions.
1: Judy Pfaff. There is a Field, I Will Meet You There [Rumi] 2014. Steel, Plexiglas, fluorescent, lights, plastic, expanding foam, dimensions variable. Page 210. Art Forum Jan 2015. Vol 53. No5.
I was drawn to the combination of textures in this piece and the scale of the work, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. Something I would like to experiment with. I will also look at combining different materials/ patterns I have already used rather than creating separate pieces.
2: Jacob Hashimoto. Skyfarm Fortress. 2014. acrylic, paper, wood, dimensions variable. Page 211. Art Forum Jan 2015. Vol 53. No5.
I was drawn to the use of patterns in this piece, which had been grouped by colour and design. These had been layered so look overwhelming and complex. Hashimoto described his work was a complex environment for the spectator to explore.
