I have chosen these images for my moodboard because i like how the artists take photography and observe it in a different way by making the images 3D which is a change from usual flat photography. I feel like it brings an element of life to these images, i especially like the ones of landscape such as the sea or a skyline as i feel it reflects nature in a more realistic way in its 3D form.
I plan to model my images after these inspiration photos, printing mine out as paper perhaps with a cardboard background and stacking them in a way that looks abstract and has resemblance to my artist references.
ARTIST REFERENCES
LETHA WILSON
Letha Wilson is a photographer and artist, specializing in making abstract sculptures of her images. She is known for her range of mediums, expanding the visual and physical dimensions of photography and sculpture by combining industrial materials such as Corten steel, aluminum, and vinyl with photography.
She prints images depicting the beauty of natural landscapes onto her sculptures, embeds them in the surface of her works, and manipulates them in various unexpected compostions. The sweeping expanse of a desert sunset, rock formations, and palm trees are among images Wilson has taken while travelling in Hawaii, the American West, and Iceland. The natural world is both the subject and content of her work.
Wilson’s site-specific works and public projects convey her ideas on a monumental scale, altering the space around them and offering moments of respite in the urban landscape. The outdoor sculptures engage directly with the elements and nature; as patinas form over time due to weather conditions, the natural world will act as a co-creative force on the appearance of these artworks.
KIRSTEN KAY THOEN
Kirsten kay Thoen is a New York based sculpture artist, her style of work includes taking photos of natures texture e.g the sea and putting it onto abstract shapes of a range of different sizes and colours to represent the emotions she feels whilst taking her photos.
Her artwork is concerned with the impacts of accelerated technology, and its inundation of imagery, on our connections to nature. While she amisdrawn to work with the illusive realism of photography, my creative process challenges the mediums traditions as she re-work her imagery of nature into sculptural forms to achieve a connection between image and form. The multi- dimensional works are vital objects, exposing the image as not the end-point but a catalyst for transcendence.
The photographic images are no longer mere depictions of nature, but vital forms of their own, calling forth the sites they derived from. Together the works assemble a vision of a contemporary nature-culture that is at once futuristic and primitive, and within which the complex roles technology and the shifting ecologies of our planet play upon human connectivity to nature, in the digital era, is core.
