This is my chosen piece from the 'The New Art gallery Walsall'
My task for this week is to brainstorm my ideas of what I could write the contextual review on.
1. Choosing to talk about the colours and the meanings behind the bright simple colours and how the light box enhances the colours, and if it wasn't on a light box would the colours stand out as much.
2. Choosing the idea of mental health and the idea of the gate and the hidden meanings that could be behind it like the gate to the future or locking you out as the lock is the focus point, the gate could be just inside someone's head and they feel like they are locked away and trying to get out.
3. I could also write about the artist Catherine Yass. After reading up about her and her work I found out about how she creates her work and she found this process of her work by making a mistake I could link this back to my work and most of my work is not planned and comes from mistakes.
4. Also going back to Catherine Yass and the way she overlays images the positive and negative image on top of each other I can relate this back again to myself as I use layering and layers to create my artwork and I know how important it is.
