These self-portraits by Sam Taylor-Wood are truly inspiring. As she explores notions of weight and gravity, she places herself in situations where her interior and external sense of self is in conflict.
Taylor-Wood stated;
"Praise really isn't that important to me from anyone other than the people whose opinion I respect. I don't crave it – and I never read reviews any more. I know people say that, but I really don't read any of them. I have done in the past and it affects you so fundamentally that you know in the future that just one wrong word in an otherwise nice review can be really upsetting. I remember one particularly bad one after a show that I thought had been the best in my life. It blights everything – and yet it's just one person's opinion."
Paul Biddle - Still Life
Biddle's work strikes me! As I am completely and utterly stunned by his technique and skill.
When observing his work, so many questions enter my mind
- What made him of think of that?
- What does it mean to him?
- How did he create such fine art?
- Why is he creating work like this?
- How does he feel when producing this work?
- Does he place his work in order or is it completely random?
- What does he hope to achieve with his talent.. by putting his work out there, what message is he sending to his observers?
- Where does het get such amazing objects? - does he make them?
- Some sort of computer animation must go into his work?
- How long does it take to create one image, yet alone several?
Biddle's work of fine art is intriguing and very imaginative.
