Art in America, January 2006
Although usually I don't enjoy this journal very much (it is riddled with stuff about boring artists and overloaded with ads, also too much writing vs. not enough images) i did flick through and see works by a few artists I found intersting...
Firstly Anne Cheung's "Small Stacks" which were just sand and glue but stacks and stacks and stacks of piles of it. So... imagine (because there aren't any images on the internet) she lays out (possibly this is how it could be done) a sheet of gladwrap and covers it with glue then covers that with sand (sounds pretty average...) but she must've made hundreds upon hundreds of these sheets and then she's stacked them at various heights, enough to almost fill a whole small room! pretty intersting.
Secondly Maiko Sugano. WHAT'S A LITTLE STRANGE IS THIS ARTIST STATEMENT I FOUND: " I hold on to feelings by carving soaps, as though keeping a diary. Each soap piece lets me recall and remember the day of its making. The feelings build a city with my experiences housed within." (http://www.thecentreofattention.org/exhibitions/sfsugano.html) Golly, it's like he's in our class or something. The little soap carvings-
However, the image that caught my eye was called 'jewelery holder mountain' and was carved from redwood. I couldn't source an image of this from the net. It was in the shape of a mountain, very smooth redwood with pointed ends jutting up and down. Bit designy. She has done some other carved stuff including:
"tree"
THE END. BY CELESTE.
