I have gone through some more research today, which is displayed in my design inspiration file, looking into the sculptural side to the wire net. This is where my work was heading in the last few weeks of Ba7, and is something I want to start the project with

Research from today...


Natalie Moore

Natalie Moore is an artist who work across the art sphere. This exhibition, from 2007 in New York, explores a combination of sculpture,painting and poetry. This is a very exhibital exhibition, based on creating a flowing, interpersonal space for an interaction between the maker and their target audience.

This exhibition stood out to me because of the very structural nature of this work, and the intention of the application of the work in a gallery space. Compared to last week, when I looked into the paper chandelier, this is a completely different set up. It is interesting how, in a small space, a lot of very different things can be created to give different effects and structures.


Dana Melamed

Dana Melamed is wire work artist based in New York. She is a very current, hard working designer who has recently appeared in a number of exhibitions. After studying fine art, Melamed developed her work through the medium of wire to create unique pieces of art and wall hangings.

Again similar to previous pieces and designers I have looked into, Dana Melamed focuses her work on gallery spaces, where she sells the majority of it. And yet again, this is another completely different style of work, using the wire to create highly textured pieces which almost look hand drawn. This is another element I could bring into my work, exploring imagery in wire.
