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.
