Artist research traces
Seiko Kinoshita
Artist research during this project traces I was looking at different practices
One of them was weaving I attended a workshop in Derbyshire at which was hosted by Seiko Kinoshita .
After exploring weaving and making my sample
I decided to look at the artist's work connecting the dots with my work
Seiko Kinoshita is an artist who is originally from Japan and came to the UK to study and now lives in Derbyshire a textiles artist that creates large sculptural
installation pieces with the use of traditional textiles and craft techniques creating installations pieces with work hanging from the ceiling creating an art piece that has
delicate
Channing Hansen
Channing Hansen from Los Angeles, coming from a fluxstart background with his art , he creates large knitted pieces engaging in the process of the yarn taken from the sheep to spinning the yarn .His work goes down to the selection of sheep that he sheers himself to the dying of yarn .With his interest in humans his work uses algorithms
I connected myself to work through the process of truly utilising the material from start to end in my exploration of traces .I wanted to delve into how much I could do with the flower as material embodying a resourceful approach wanting to show traces of traveling how much I draw out from the flower the footprints left .Large hand-knitted textiles are mounted on wooden stretchers and feature vibrant, abstract forms that undulate across their web-like surfaces.
Francesca DiMattio
is an American artist born and based in New York City? She makes paintings and ceramic sculptures that weave elements using architectural, design, cultural and historical
with her use of various colours and the element of freedom. In her choices of materials and the openness of how this work could be sculpture. I take from the unapologetic
approach of being willing for the work to not necessarily look
like anything but to still have an aesthetic that works the work is unknowing but known circling in a space of ambiguity. I would say this is related to my work
David Rygiol
Creating a series of three art works that looked at Art Ancestry the use of screen print using minimal colours black and white he looks at races and how the human race are all connected with one another . This I connect to my initial research that was my ancestral DNA where I found various threads of myself . This took me on the traces where I focused on the flower .When looking into the idea DNA traces I came across a website Called peaceful science which discusses the idea of things flowing into each other which is what my project focuses on-being a part of something larger.
Mishka Henner
An artist who looks at earth from a sky view, Mishka started as a photographer who talks about images. Once out on the internet we surrender our ownership . From this thought he began to hate the idea of photography he then ventured into
collecting google satellite images of feedlots images that look above where cows are kept for slaughter.
I found these images echoed a look of klimt and connected it through to my work . Using the land at and eyelevel it is what know to be a feedlot
Linking to my current project the land and the moving of life from a satellite perspective , taking something such as satellite images that we use to look down on the world ,to then taking an image from this has a certain tone colour that resembles KLIMT it’s the flatness and the textural colours
Silvia Rosi
Silvia is looking at her family and cultural traditions in Togo and then Italy and using them to create art which is brought into the contemporary world. She draws on the tradition of head carrying of vessels which is taught from mother to daughter, using something from the past to bring into the future. She emphasises the cultural heritage way of moving things thereby delving into family history to create contemporary work.
In my project I am using my family ancestry from researching my family tree and my DNA . I made a video of where I grew up which took me back to the start of my love of outdoors and nature. We played outdoors and went blackberry picking and scrumping. My experimentation with the flowers, watching them grow and decay and experiment with what they left, connected with both these strands – ancestry and outdoors.
