This is a Japanese textile art. I haven't heard of sculpted art before until I came across this, I like the idea of sculpting a design using textiles, I am thinking of using this idea as an inspiration.

"THE HUGO PLATES by Katherine Muschick Schnider"

I like the way Katherine had used a found object from the aftermath of the Hurricane, and with it she recreated that day by making an etching on Zinc Printing Plates using ink. What I like about this specific art is the use of the bright and bold colouring and also when I look at this I'm thinking that it must've been done in a quick minute and it looks really detailed with the waves crashing and the wind and the rain pouring down coming from the side of the plates.

I could make something like this, I could experiment using ink or paint, and I would try to be quick, not think about specifically what I'm trying to do, and then look at what I have produced after I have finished.

Five Tornadoes...

I came across this art work by Kazuya Akimoto called Five Tornadoes. When I first saw it I didn't immediately know it was based on Tornadoes, the reason I thought this was because when a thought comes to mind about tornadoes or hurricanes, I think of dull and lifeless colours because of the pain and misery it brings, but what bought my attention was the bold colours he used.

Shapes and Patterns

I am interested in the patterns that the hurricanes makes, weather it's the satellite pictures, or the forming of the tornado.

I want to look at the images that make the hurricane rather than the hurricanes itself.

I think Hurricanes makes interesting shapes and patterns, the marks it leaves on the earth, the rubbles of homes in piles. So I am interested in what I will find.
