Francessca Woodman.In the christmas holidays I visited the Vitoria Miro gallery, I was so amazed by the huge space with wild rooms and the fact that right next door was another gallery connected to the Victoria Miro gallery. But what amazed me the most was the art inside. I loved Fracessca Woodman's work because I haven't seen photography like that before. Woodman's dark photography really made me intregged into what was going through her mind as she was planning and taking the photographs, I came to some shakey conclusions that she was trying to portray the deep emotions and thoughts which were running around in her mind and ultimately led to her suicide. Woodmans photography also reminded me of the play write Sarah Kane's work because they both create unexplainable art in different forms and both clearly have complicated and different thoughts. I am deffinetly going to take onboard Woodman's work and think outside the box, get in touch with my own thoughts (not the examiners) and my own emotions.
The other artist I found inspirering was Tom Lubbock, I loved his use of comedy, politics and artistic tallent which he put in one. He uses words and collages together to create something you want to look into and understand. All of his work is witty and some obvious in what he is trying to portray... or is it? The simplicity of some of his work might be the diversion for the hiden meaning he is trying to express. In 2008 Lubbock developed a fatal brain tumour which gradually affected his speaking, so I wonder if his art was a way to not let nature and sickness get the better of him.

Quiet but still something?

Nothing?
My body. My tree.
After that it becomes simply the world.
