i don't know what the conditions is similar where you lot are, but nosotros inward the bay expanse are getting drenched too rattling grayness today. sometimes on days similar this i only desire to live on surrounded past times something genuinely bright.
amy boon-mccreesh is going to aid me out.
i've been thinking a lot lately close what nosotros practice culturally to celebrate too memorialize things - similar banners too streamers too other decorations. i came across amy's travel a patch dorsum when i was obsessively researching garlands. inward 1 of those 1 creative mortal who links to or too so other artists scenarios, i came across her site too was hooked. i of late decided to re-vist her site too i genuinely love how her travel seems to live on expanding upon itself. close her travel she succinctly says :
Taking inspiration from celebratory too funerary displays inward diverse cultures, Amy aims to explore ornament too human relationships.
on her site she displays this text alongside an image:
a motion-picture exhibit is worth a thou words. why practice nosotros memorialize alongside these oddly faux too overly happy things? practice these things genuinely symbolize our love too human relationship to the dearly departed? are these things both repulsive too attractive for numerous reasons????

| ceremonial splendor, 2011, installation shot |
it seems lately amy is drawn to doing these installations - business office reliquary, business office piñata, business office explosion of color. i similar them. especially how they interact alongside the infinite - too specially the pigment splotches on the wall. that 2D/3D interaction is cool too i similar that it looks similar the color is a shadow or is leaking from the travel itself.

i also similar how she's using all unlike surfaces inward the infinite too connecting her pieces both metaphorically too literally. i intend what is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than interesting, at to the lowest degree to me, is that these appear every bit though they travel non alone every bit a identify unit of measurement - but every bit private works. i intend that's genuinely non an slowly matter to accomplish.

i intend partly i'm only naturally drawn to travel that looks inherently task intensive - or that has an chemical cistron of that. or fifty-fifty only eludes to that quality. alongside amy's travel you lot tin physically run across too so experience all the cutting too gluing too task that is involved. i similar that. the procedure is self-evident. too i genuinely really similar her 2D drawings.

her role of color is only all inward all pretty darn bang-up too, no? too the idea of abundance. only 1 isn't enough. at that spot must live on to a greater extent than too to a greater extent than too more.

too so if i had to choose? the higher upwards every bit a apartment 2D work. too below would live on my alternative inward the to a greater extent than 3D travel [do you lot similar how i'm managing to collect two industrial plant inward this scenario? i'm beingness sneaky].
