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.

the geometrical forms he creates, the logic of repetition, his minimal sculptures, use of material and the way he creates the space are the key ideas for me in his work.

Artist: Alicja Kwade
Year: 2018
Size: —
Medium: Wood, Stone, Steel

connection between this artwork and my practice: 

Alicja Kwade is one the artist who specifically works on the laws of physics and the mysterious natures of time, space and light.

The connection I found between my projects and her works is that she presents improbable scenarios using doubled or multiple objects and I am using double or multiple objects to study relationship between forms and space. And also some of my ideas is similar to her minimal design and how she uses lines and objects to create a space.
