Artists research

With the use of ‘Pinterest’, I found some inserting artists to research e.g. such as Dale Chihiuly and Megan Geckler. Chihiuly colours and shapes were inspiring to look at because of the use of multiple lines and repetition. Similar, Megan Geckler uses these in her art installations and she uses a lot of tape and ribbon, like I do. Other artist I have found that interest me: Michel Francols and Anne Helper. I found these artists work really strange because of their use of space and materials. We all use the same types of materials but in many different ways and this is what has inspired me to develop for my next samples. Anne Helper work remind me of the foundation diploma course I studied at Sixth Form College due to the inflating plastics involved. So I decided to use some of these materials in my new samples.  When I finished making my samples and photographed them outside, in a car park, to see how they stood out in the street light. This gave them a different image because they had more movement in them. Also the materials I used were transparent and had some fascinating movements when the lights were shining through.
