Tiffany singh's presentation

This young talented artist amazed me with her encounters in the art world ! she works around colour for her art pieces and are all created by all natural ingredients , i really found that cool because its a piece of the world applied to her art . Her way of colour represents sacredness and a sense of culture where she show
ed us a series of her artpieces such as ''What color is the sacred'' this was a great project i thought stood out for me , it was of a whole lot of little statues of gods coated in six different colors and placed on the ground in lines going across in a rainbow affect. Tiffany chose to let the viewers interact with her work , she wanted them to trade anything of theres like maybe an item that has meaning or even something that was just found and in return you could pick a coloured statue of a god , sometimes she would recieve items that are precious to the owner because they react to her work in a more moving and spiritual way ! she was really surprised with the colours that people valued more and that most of the dark purple and dark red statues were taken . I liked that art piece beacause i would've picked either one of those two colour because i like those colors myself and that gets me thinking why do we like this color ? maybe because the color has a more sacred spiritual connection to the mind.

after her presentations are finished she recycles her natural ingredients and sorts them in color coded proportion. i really love how she still manages to have the energy to do that.

My actual favourite colour is green because i like to match with my eyes which are green ! green to me represents green stone , land , growth which all relates to my culture which i am proud of everyday of my life . green to me is a bright happy colour which i've heard can change moods just by looking at such a colour , i think its some kind of medatation because green is clear to me as if it were apart of me now because i'v always known that its my favourite color .

Deborah Crowe's Presentation.

In this presentation we were introdouced to Deborah Crowe, she talked to us about interesting aspects as an artist that she gets herself involved with, such as her experiments, influences, processes, and how she uses the element of construction types of objects like buildings , bridges which she layers and develops it in to her relation of art for business. We also went to an art Gallery in Mangere and met two artist where they showed us there sculptures .

Crowe really interested me in our lecture because she has a

fascination for structural grid forms , large spaces and also weaving materials that would seem impossible to do which is really new to me. Scaffolding objects is what i've noticed she uses alot and i think her mum is a big influence to her and her career because of the fact she was a great sewer and loved weaving which was used to repair her children's clothes and i think it has affected her work alot . She's really incorporated it in to her work such as her sculptures , fashion designs , moving image and photography . Crowe always creates off her previous works and develops her skills by adding more advanced and new ideas to her pieces every time.

What i like about Deborah Crowe is that her work reflects on her past and significants moments of her life , it shows in he

r sculptures which they reflect on views such as cities , motorways that overlap each other like a weaving grid. I really like Deborahs ascent because its not what you here on a daily basis i think that kept me interested too . She said she was a bit different to being normal when she was a young child because she was always put in the closet by her older sister but what they didn't know is that she loved being put in the closet because she used it as time to think about anything that came to her mind and i find that unusually interesting and funny because it is slightly different and sounds a bit crosstiphobic .

When we showed up at the art Gallery we first noticed a beautiful rock carving that had pacific lines crossing each other like a platt . it was on our left of the entrance and thats when i knew we were going to see objects which kind o

f related to Deborahs style in a way because of the weaving and line. Mataki Moana was a sculpture that caught my eye because it has a sense of vortex and carries an abstract form to it but its carved carefully and it shows beautifully with its sharp edges and and shapes . I also like how the light from the sun creates line in its shadows which helps make the sculpture more spectacular and different. I was told that its suppose to represent a fishing net .I think he was trying to let the viewer be captured by this art piece for them to think why he calls it a net . Maybe its to give this sculpture movement an attraction because i think the sqaures give an edge to it.

These types of Sculptures were very different and i think it can influence alot of people to go further in to there art because they've proved you can push your creativeness and develop your ideas as such as weaving rock, steel and controlling movement and meaning to your work . I think there works are beatiful and can go far in the art industry.
