Installations, Gosia Wlodarczak

Artist : Gosia Wlodarczak

Year : 2012

Size : –

Media : Frost Drawing

connection between this artwork and my practice: 
Wlodarczak says: ” am fascinated by one’s awareness of the moment and the mind’s relationship with the outside world conducted through the senses”
She is one the artists whom I admire. She creates the personal connection to her and her body in the installation in simple forms. One of her best works is the one she draws on glasses. I think connection between drawing lines and glass creates a unique relationship between temporarily of the materials and the ‘moment’.

3D Tape Drawing, Monika Grzymala

Artist : Monika Grzymala

Year : 2012

Size : –

Media : Tape


connection between this artwork and my practice: 

What makes me interested in Grzymala’s Work is her use of simple modern material which get the best results for her idea of drawing in space. I’m fascinated by the forms she creates. I could easily feel her body movements in space in her work.

I’m also interested in ephemerality of the work and also the site specific design.

Anna Maria Maiolino on Poetic Wanderings

Anna Maria Maiolino on Poetic Wanderings from Hauser & Wirth in Vimeo

Artist: Anna Maria Maiolino

connection between this artwork and my practice: I have placed this video in my work to hear what I talk to myself about from someone else. Maialino’s works are incredibly wonderful, I decided to place her video instead of her artworks for many reasons, I do love her work but I think she is the main inspiration for me and not only her works, also I couldn’t choose between her works as I love most of them .

What makes me interested in her work is not only forms or materials but the combination of everything, her connection to the work, the art work by itself as something unique, connection of the objects in the installation and most importantly using unfired clay, going against the norm and creating new life for a tradition material.

the next aspect is the way she adds temporariness and recycles the art back to nature by only choosing to not firing the clay. Also how she emphasis the making process and evidence of her body being involved in the art work without leaving a body trace .

I am still researching on her works and I believe my work is even more connected to hers.

Untitled,

Artist : Robert Morris

Year : 1967–8, remade 2008

Size : –

Media : –

connection between this artwork and my practice: 

Morris’ artworks follow an entirely different aesthetic, “Anti-form”. What makes me interested in his works is his idea of making process, minimal forms, and his choice of materials such as fabric, steel, fibreglass and plywood.

I believe he was one of the artist who was aware of his emotions and how to transfer them in a logical way. Relationship between form (Anti-form) and space in this artwork is one of the most important element for me.

Vertiginous Detour

Eva Hesse - Vertiginous Detour
Eva Hesse – Vertiginous Detour

Artist : Eva Hesse

Year : 1966

Size : ball 16 1/2 in. (41.9 cm) diameter; rope: approx. 154 in. (391 cm) long

Media : Acrylic and polyurethane on papier-mâché, rope, and net

connection between this artwork and my practice: Hesse was interested in the process of making, the importance of hand making, creating inner and outer spaces in her work, her perception of the negative spaces and other elements and their beauties. “If you use fiberglass clear and thin, light does beautiful things to it …it is there__ part of its anatomy” adds extra similarity to my projects in addition to our similarities in use of biomorphic and geometric abstraction or transferring line in space.

I am interested in her work and specially this sculpture because of geometric aesthetic and Balance, hanging from the ceiling, organic form and being a minimal installation. Shadow and light and the way she created the sculpture by letting the weight of the ball shape the net art are other important elements.

Japanese rock garden

connection between this artwork and my practice:

I still don’t know why Japanese rock garden can be related to my work, but I feel a really deep connection to it. I think it might be because my works is related to my life experiences which I start to feel true meaning of life. Also it might be because of connection of materials, repetition of circles or the connection of things.

Terracotta Circle

Artist : Gilberto Zorio

Year : 1969

Size : –

Media : Mixed media

connection between this artwork and my practice: 

Zorio is an Italian artist associated with Arte Povera movement, which was contemporary with the Gutai group in Japan.

He is known for his use of materials and I am interested in this artwork because he places the clay next to other materials, the Diameter of terracotta is based on the artist’s arm-span and the circle was moulded as he moved around at floor level. Which relates to my interest of relationship between body movement and the form.

Artist :  Sheila Hicks

Year : 2009

Size : 

Media : textile

connection between this artwork and my practice:

Sheila Hicks is one of the most recent artists I have found and I believe she and her work will help me a lot in most of my works. Hicks’ media is textile and she has all sort of work from commercial objets to massive installations.

She paints and sculpts in space. Connection between her, site-specific installations and space, wall hanging objects, transforming a space through colour-soaked and large-scale sculpture  are all fascinating.

Year : 2015

Size : 26 Elements 250 x 20 cm, 98 3/8 x 7 7/8 ins, each

Media : Installation Cotton, wool, linen, silk, bamboo, synthetic fibres

connection between this artwork and my practice:

Hicks’s material is her visual language to talk about her feelings. She uses traditional techniques in a minimal way to create a composition of colours, lines and textures in her work.

I first collected this art work only because I liked the form and relationship between the lines and colours, but now I am more interested on the forms of the lines individually and in the group also relationship of them to the space. She has a wonderful understanding of space and architecture how, she engages and activates  her work with space create unique composition.

In one of her interviews she mentioned that she works the same way that ceramists do.

The other aspect is feeling her body was involved, making process and also using traditional method and go against it are other connections.

This artwork and Eva Hesse’s “Right After” are the main inspiration for one of my projects.
