Entangled, http://camilleutterback.com/projects/entangled

I love all of the work by Camille Utterback. I'm really glad she was pointed out to me, her style and principles are basically what I desire to grow my art into. I love how interactive she makes her art and the captivating colors she uses in everything. It's so abstract, which normally I would shy away from, but the fact that it changes based on the level of interactivity with the audience. I find it really fun and is a good way to pull the audience in to think about the theme Utterback is trying to portray. 

 While its really difficult to pick a single work I love the most, my favorite is probably Entangled (2015). Basically is is a two sides structure with projections and shadows of colors. Based on the movements of participants on either side, the art moves and changes. This is really similar to her earlier work, Untitled 5 (2004), but Entangled has taken it to a new level.

 Her intent has to do with the awareness of each other, the relationships between people- which is a principle I really want to explore in my art. I think the projections are beautiful visually, in color and the textures they create. But, I also think the theme here is equally beautiful, bringing strangers together. Honestly, seeing her work in person is now a goal of mine.

Artist: Richard Long Website: http://www.richardlong.org Favorite work: “Berlin Circle” Richard Long’s work is very simple and, arguably, plain. Normally, this would bore me. However, I feel he uses the space which his work resides in as inspiration for the piece instead of forcing a piece to fit in just any given space. The colors of his materials rarely- if ever- contrast the space and for most texture is used in the same way. Yet, Long also takes a lot of liberty in contrast when it comes to the shapes of other works. The hit-or-miss tendencies with contrast creates engaging works that I believe improves every space they are implemented. My favorite aspects of Long’s artistry are in a tie between color and line. In terms of color, Long consistently uses very soft tones even in his darkest pieces. This creates a calming feeling as the art is observed, as well as an overall sense of unity between everything Long creates. On the other hand, Long’s linework is so zen-li...

Project 3; Progress Post 2

I decided to use Fusion 360 to create my model. Because I used so many primary shapes, Fusion is the easiest to manipulate in order to make the cuts and build the structure I'm looking for.  I started with making the the main house, then went to town creating the holes. After the holes, I switched my focus to the base, during which I learned how to use a ramping tool that worked pretty perfectly. Lastly I did the words, using a word collage as guidance.  I like where it was going, but the words really weighed dow the program and ultimately had to call it quits before I put all the words on. Further, one wall did not receive any word treatment. It sucks but I accepted it. I'm really happy with how the rest of the model went.
