Artists

I have made a list of artists/art historians that were recommend for me to look at, some of them were also mentioned in articles. I have had a quick look at all of their work and decided which ones I think would be relevant to what I would like to look into others I have decided I don't think they would be very influential however I have kept a note of their names in case I change my mind.

Artist Statement

My work is about place and building relationships between places. It is about bringing the idea of ‘paradise’ or the ‘perfect’ landscape into everyday life. Taking fragments of the places I have visited and turning them into a new place. They then become parts of a whole fragment. I have built relationships between the places in the images by placing the fragments next to each other. I have been finding ways to make these places exist in physical form as well as digitally. I have been adding depth to these flat images, because they are more than just fragments of locations placed together, they have now become their own landscape. To me each fragment of the image reminds me of a specific place and time, however other people may just see a landscape. The way they are presented either shows them as their individual fragments or as a whole fragment. This has been an exploration into bringing collaged landscapes to life.

Digital Modelling

 Originally for this project I wanted to explore digital modelling, however I had a few complications with this as my laptop could not run the software, then I was waiting for my new laptop to be delivered. There was delays with this oder and it meant that by the time I finally got the laptop there wasn't long of this project left. I have downloaded the fusion software and started to have a look. However because I do not have much time until hand in I am going to focus on other aspects of the project and save this idea for FMP. If I do get time I will start looking at video tutorials for how to use fusion but I would rather focus on the other ideas I have been working on.
