Research on chosen artist works

Fiona Hall:

Holdfast (Macrocystis angustifolia/ giant kelp) 2007

The material of the design were aluminium and tin where both materials come from sardine cans and discarded materials. Halls normally uses ordinary objects and materials where only conventional production techniques were needed. The interest of hers in botanical classfication can be one of the most influential inspiration in this design.

Rosalie Gasciogne:

Canary Bird 1996

The material of the design was from road signs where they have a reflective naturem hence the effects of reflection were achieved. Road signs were broken down and aligned in different positions and orders. The design where then exhibited on wood at the dimension of 75cm x 60cm.
