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.
