rebbeca ward intreasts me becuase of the way she makes and descibes her work she says it is process driven art by just reacting with the surroundings. we are taught to come up with a concept an idea behind are work. without that renforcement i thought it would be diffuclt to gain recognition. to me this is exciting to be able to just create from a matieral she loves (electrical tape) and not have a mojor concept over the top its just pure creatrivness. there is deffently a feeling of escape in her work i can tell she loves the repertition of the proccess and i do the same with my drawins it is rewarding to see somthing unpland bar a formula take shape before your eyes kind of like a gustalt drawing but at a controled level. it makes me wonder if i were to do the same proccess on defferent days would it turn out different dew to my feelings somthing that seems so cold and blunt (lines) i think could be quite expressive for example close together is a more clostrifobic and frustrated feeling where as spaced out connots a relaxed senes a contentness where there doesnt need to be an overpowering structure.
ward has produced her work in many different enviroments and each time i think she adds a little more to that space by reeating to it she creates reactive passive landscapes that are subject to the walls around them. i should possibly try and do this within my patterns and react to the things next to it.
