Andy Goldsworthy
own images 2007 - 2008
Andy Goldsworthy has always intrigued me , his use of natural materials and very minimal tools I find to be very inspiring , In his own words he sees his art as very brave as his materials are not made to specific plans :
'I can't edit the materials I work with'
This piece in particularly captivates me the 3 felled yet intact tree trunks and boughs, embedded in pits of Yorkshire stone to me signify an entrapment of the natural sculptural form that are the trees around us , an imprisonment as it were .
Goldsworthy engages and worries about the consequences of our general disconnection from the land and the food chain. He wants to confront the fact that for urban people the country is just something nice to look at on a Sunday out.

Phoebe Cummings
An instantly captivating artist , Cummings produces works of varying scale using mixed media but predominately unfired clay . I find her use of organic influence very intriguing , and the methods she uses to display them even more so .
Although her work more often than not focuses upon plan life in 2010 she asked visitors to the museum she was using as a studio to have a more hands on approach in response to another artists work within the building . The results can be seen below . This piece focused ton the creation of shadows and as you can see a rather chaotic scene was produced .
I find this idea of audience participation very appealing and would very much like to adopt this approach myself . The idea of handing over control and going with the flow as it were seems very risqué to me and I would be very interested in the results it could bring.

Cornelia Parker
For a long time now I have been interested in the use of suspension within art and the precarious
nature it creates.
Cornelia Parker is well known for her compelling transformations of familiar, everyday objects
and the way she play's with private and public meaning and value often using well known objects within her works .

Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991)
Rivane Neuenschwander
Neueschwander is a Brazilian artist who its is said is fascinate by many things including : the nature of time, the fragility of life, cycles of existence, mysteries of perception and the delicacy of human exchange, but it is said that no one thing characterizes the art she makes.
It is her interests in the fragility of life and cycles of existence that entices me .
Take the piece below :
''Dozens of hollowed-out garlic husks were hung by thread from the ceiling, each dangling approximately one centimetre from the black floor. The work’s material slightness asked for careful movement, and the bulbs were only revealed as husks when a viewer’s passing caused them to sway. ''
Suspended Landscape, 1997, garlic peels and vegetable fiber, variable dimensions
Robert calls the work Terraform Sculpture. TERRAFORM (literally meaning, “Earth-shaping”) the process of 'deliberate modification of the atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology to be similar to those of Earth to make it habitable by humans. While in Robert’s case, he uses concrete and mosses with most of his creations.'
I really like his use of contrasting man made materials with organic matter.

Once again the theme of suspension comes through within this ecological piece.
In my future works I wish to utilise this method of display as I believe it captures
the fragility of my subject matter and allows for the subtlety of movement.

So is it an environmental statement? It didn’t start out as that but it has become one because of its nature. It’s about consumerism, our throw-away society, homelessness, property values (it has a river view and a fashionable address) and the definition of art (it’s across the road from the Tate Britain Art Gallery).

I discovered this artist after the completion of my personal statement and it was refreshing to find
a piece of work that shares a similar view on our society to my own .
I find Hudson's work to be quite poetic and inspirational with both his choice of materials and the meticulous documenting of the installation process.
'' I always video the installation of the work so there is a record of the experience and action of making it, and I hope that if it is recreated in the future it might retain its fragile and delicate quality''

After The Death of The Bear (unfired porcelain, sieve)
''Phoebe Cummings was born in the U.K in 1981. She studied Three-Dimensional Crafts at the University of Brighton before completing an MA in Ceramics & Glass at the Royal College of Art in London. Her work explores connections between interior environments and landscape, considering the psychological spaces of objects and place. Process and material remain of particular significance, working predominantly with clay. Often pieces are constructed directly on site, intended as temporary interventions. The work may come to exist only as a photograph or memory.''
''Untitled
''Located near a large pile of wood and abandoned chair, the site chosen by Phoebe Cummings at I-Park gives the sense of a collapsed building. There is an ambiguity in the structure created, suggesting both carpet-like remains of an interior environment or a growth engulfing the area as it returns to nature. Similarly, the color of the ceramic pieces has connotations of both domestic space as well as echoing the natural growth of lichen in the surrounding area. Each of the ceramic loops was hand rolled and fired in the studio at I-Park, before being pieced together on site. The surface will change in colour over time with the effects of weather and natural growth on the piece...''
Claire Morgan
This piece is something of a goal for me as, ever since finding this this image,
I have wished to recreate something similar . The scale of Morgans work and its presence in the space is so mesmerising, along side the use of organic materials and growing plants this living piece of art embodies my current interests .

Room :
1.2m (diameter) x 8m (h)
Tulip bulbs, moisture, light, iron oxid, nylon thread
On each string was suspended a single growing tulip bulb. Collectively, these took on a bulbous form that from certain angles appeared to resemble a helix, sometimes a more chaotic mass. The tulips continued to grow over the 2 weeks of the show until on the verge of flowering.

I’m interested in conservation, and this work is like a performance or instruction guide
Is it Art Or an Environmental Statement?
So is it an environmental statement? It didn’t start out as that but it has become one because of its nature. It’s about consumerism, our throw-away society, homelessness, property values (it has a river view and a fashionable address) and the definition of art (it’s across the road from the Tate Britain Art Gallery).
