ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!
Josie: Hello there angels, how are we all this week? good im hoping. So who's counting down to Christmas already?? ay ay? Christmas and new years are such wicked times of the year, seriously the best stuff happens at that time of the year. its magical. so make your wishes now and i reckon they'l come true by then!! I know alot of you guys have known for a while what sort of art style you each have, but i've been stuck trying to categorize what stuff i like, BUT- i think it just hit me, a mixture between Minimalist (is that how its spelt?!?!) and interaction with people stuff.....so if there is a title for those two put together...that is sik and what category I would be under:):)
This week, again i have discovered a wicked Polish chick- Anna Skibska. Check her out, her stuff is crazy cool. She mainly uses glass to make her installations but sometimes includes drawings. I found an advertisement for her exhibition "No Exit" in the September 2006 Sculpture journal. The picture really caught my eye as there are hanging glass cubes with different lighting effects. Wicked wicked:) Anything with pretty lights for starters are cool as and have really interesting shadows and patterns which I fully get into. I like patterns and shadows. So I looked into Shibska's work a little more and her incorporation of lights to create shadows plays with themes of life and death....darkness and lightness....lights and shadows etc....interesting themes i guess.....but I like the formal aspects more than the theme itself. Anything that hangs....is just cool. How could you not agree. I find things facinating when they are hung, and therefore are rated highly in my books...haha..that sounds dumb haha. If you're into this sort of sculpture, definately look into her. I think I would say she is Minimalist, dont you guys think?
I'll keep looking into her past works and stuff, I like how she mainly uses glass, Im doing glass so I can relate, but it is really time consuming and I could never be a glass artist, so I give her credit for that, because I know I could never have the attention span to sit there melting all those stringers of glass together!!!! haha!
Neway- check it out darlings, have a cool week and relax. i suggest have a bubble bath if any one gets overly stressed, its really relaxing!:)
Ciao!! xx

yo, this is totally you. you like shadows light, kind of geometric, soft shapes? polish chicks are hot. glass stringers are cool. (but not to the touch) our glass assignment is going to maybey suck a little bit. point being. im not sure if its minimalist? (what does that word even mean wikipedia?) but i really like the picture, the use of mirrors. the mirror gives the image a totally new dimension. its way cool.
sylvia.
