week 4-5

Week 4-5 Visual texture What does visual texture bring to what I was talking about? I think visual texture can be a great tool like video to play with perception of the viewer. It can be ironic and deceptive. The artists I looked at for this were: -Alice Maher

The thorn house is the most relative to me. its a house which reminds us of home. Home should mean a safehaven, a sanctuary. But she has made this little house out thorns which completely warps our interpetation. Now it displays things like danger, hurt and fear

The nettle coat is another object of irony. A jacket is made to be worn, right? even if its made with Real nettles?

The berry is brilliant because on first look we see a cute little girls dress. its covered in berrys? how sweet on if you see inside the berry are fixed on via pins. As a result of looking at Alice Maher I came up with some 2D work.

here i explored texture and materials to lay them out and see the effect they have layed out together.

thorn teddy bear again heavy influence from Alice Maher';s Thorn House. The thorns make the typical childs toy that little less cuddly.

This is a little more destructive art again. ive made a cup and teacup drawn in thorns. they are burnt around edges. there is frame around them. this brings paramore's playing god back into it again. last one

This isb a bed of holly leaves, once agian playing on the irony of comforting objects being made into something uncomfortable and sinister. .
