Emily Lyons-Structures-Blog 3

The Structure video in Art 21 was my favorite video of the three that I watched. I liked the artists and their works but they all were trying to understand what is going on in the world around them.

The first artist Matthew Richie's sculpture in the beginning of the video was interesting. He made a structure and he wanted a feel of a cell and that people are all stuck in their own cell. It is a different thought but yet people are all caught up in something. The piece is beautiful and when you look at you can not stop it continues in different directions.

The next artist Fred Wilson uses ordinary little structures and puts them with others that may not connect at all. He likes to work with them and spacing the objects. He makes his work off of these ordinary objects and tries to understand what is going on around him and his world. When Fred did the printmaking it was interesting to watch and see what he did with his plate and to see how they did it compared to the technique that we did in class.

The artist Roni Horn did many photos of the Thames River. It is a picture of water but it is a good composition. The pictures flows very well and even though she took many pictures they are all different and have a different feel about them.
