Art & Representation
When I was looking through pictures of artist’s works from Venice Biennales I came across Sam Taylor-Wood's work (in the 47th Biennale). Her photographs are arresting in the way the figure and reflection of light draws you in. The piece ‘Self Portrait Suspended 1’is part of a series that looks at testing physical restrictions of existence in an endeavor to attain ‘absolute release and freedom’. A reflection of the boundaries of society and the limitations it enforces.

Art & Abstraction
Phillip Wolfhagen is a landscape painter whose contemporary practice in horizon lines and presentation makes his vocation truly unique. The use of uneven horizon lines, combined with the split panels, gives Wolfhagen’s work an abstract quality. Taking the subject matter of man dominating nature and giving it a unique spin, he stretches the image of humanity till it’s nothing but a thin vertical line separating the enigma of nature.
Art & Aura/ Quotidian
A few years ago I studied Thomas Ruff who’s an amazing innovative photographer. Producing barren and impartial images of everyday objects such as people, architecture and the sky, his defined pictures encompass a wild and eerie aura.

Thanks for catching up Amy - Great comments.
I would remind you however - that you need to reference artists from this studio area - sculpture, performance and installation.
(I have nothing against painting I am simply trying to get you to reflect upon work relevant to your studio area!!!)
