Whilst I was researching graffiti artists, I decided to search textiles graffiti artists. I thought there might be someone who use graffiti mixed with textiles techniques. But instead I
found Mrs Smith. Found on an article from the BBC this anonymous artist decoreacted plymouth sundial with her creations. This inspired me to take my devore sample and photograph it in different places such as a wall or fence.
Could you discuss in more detail, the work of Mrs.Smith, and the textile artist who uses knit (will tell you next lesson her name) and wraps similar city landmarks.
ReplyDelete* What makes this work appealing? would it have the same appeal in a gallery situation?
* How does it fit into its context, and how does the viewer interpret/react to the work in an urban environment?
* Are there any connections to Duchamps urinal? * Does this work contradict the idea of art being in a gallery?
* Do you think this is a new idea/movement in your opinion why is it successful?
* Has the use of textiles as a medium for fine art changed over the years? are the boundaries blurred, between craft and art? - is this work evidence of change?
