A Little More Inspiration

Hello again,

Just felt like posting some artists who recently gave me some great inspiration to work differently on some of my ideas so far, so here they are!


Tara Donovan

Donovan is an American artist who is famous for her site-specific installations. "Colony" is a sculpture consisting of pencils which are packed together and are different in height, which gives the impression of a fungus spreading across the exhibition space, allowing the viewer to become immediately aware of it. I also see how she creates a restricted space by packing the pencils tightly together.

Richard Serra

This American-born artist is known for his large scale sculptures made up of industrial materials. "Blind Spot" and "Open-Ended" engages with the space in which it is work, and invites the visitors to explore the restricted space created by the curved walls, which creates this claustrophobic-like atmosphere.



Matthew Barney

Barney is most known for combining sculptural installations with Performance art and video. His series titled "Drawing Restraint" explores the idea of restraint and how it affects the body. He uses restraint to create unusual marks in the space which is available to him.




Ernesto Neto

This Brazilian artist creates soft  biomorphic sculptures that fill the entire space. "Our Mist Into The Mith" invites the viewers to see, touch and smell the materials surrounding them in this organic-like dome shaped space.





Tomorrow is our Group Tutorial day, so lets hope it goes well for everyone!

Bye for now!
