Colours – I really
like the almost neon colours she uses. Their so bright that it’s impossible to
miss. The ‘cubes’ works that I’m talking about are what inspired me to take my
work off the wall and just focus on the shapes. Her work is painted straight
onto the wall so she very much works with the space she’s given. Although my
work is mounted on the wall, not glued straight onto it, I am working with the
space a lot more than I have previously.
I also enjoy the
amount of white space she leaves, she doesn't over crowd the audience and
understands that, because of how bright the colours are, you don’t need as much
of it – it would be too much for your eyes to take in.
I plan to use more
vibrant colours, attaching them to straight to the wall, using them to join some
canvases that I will space out randomly across the wall. I think this fits well
with how this theme came about, I saw the original shapes though a window, so I
think this is a good move forward. I enjoy the shapes being free, but I chose
to experiment on a canvas – the parameters remind me of a window. Dotting the
canvases around a space links with how I got the shapes, I took them from the
landscape and they evolved into what I’m doing now, and to me the presentation
of the shapes links the start with the finish very well.
