Frances Hansen's Presentation.

Frances Hansen introduced us as a class, a seminar on what she does now and on her past work . As she progressed in her presentation we found that she had a range of talent through art such as painting mixed media and also installation works which brought us to the attention that she enjoys collecting . She collects things and uses them in such a form that creates interesting and fascinating projects such as jewellery . Frances mentioned that she uses collections in many different ways , one of her projects introduced weeds where she started a calibration of MSVA students and New Castle Art school to form artwork that introduces weeds and then Frances would gather all of them and display them as a collection of linked artwork frames.

I don't use much collection in my work but i do file my research and projects in groups , I think the only things i collected was bus tickets because I knew i spent alot of money a day just taking bus rides and its been like that since i was a young child , i thought if i start collecting them that as a year goes past that i could surprise myself with the amount of tickets i would end up with and it slowly became an addiction .

Lisa Congdon ,another collecting artist who has a small obsession for school supplies such as old erasers etc. She loves them forthe typography that it has . Lisa likes to notice the shades of pink that they each have, caused by there age , she feels that she is saving these erasers because they no longer can be used because their to old and they probably would of been thrown away anyway. This interested me how collectors can start getting addicted to what they do and start making objects such as an eraser to have so much potential in the art world.
