Caitlin Hackett
She is one of my favourite artist who is amazed by nature but shows the decay within it.

Image of interest…..
I looked in to this piece due to the way I see the context behind it. To me this shows a life circle of the owl (I understand this might not be the meaning), to me the bottom red whole is the death after the bright blue life. Her art to me speaks a lot about life and death within animals and I really enjoy this. She uses a lot of “alive” masks to cover the death faces.
This is a statement from the artist about her own works. This explains what she wants to show within her work and what inspired her to do this.

Caitlin McCormack
Caitlin is an artist who works around the theme of decay, by creating skeletons out of string.
These shows the skeleton of a decayed animal, though this doesn’t have the same look as my project due to me looking in to decay over time, I was intrigued within the material she uses to create them (string). I do also like her work and thing i possible could benefit from it.
This is a explanation of how she makes the works and how she manipulate the materials to get them to become more like the thing she is trying to convey .

Kris Kuksi
He is an American artist who is who does realistic art. Made out of random things he can find.
Kris’s works don’t particularly have the same message as mine but I do like the look of it and so want to try something like this as more of a relief piece on a canvas.
This explains materials and also why he makes his work but doesn’t go to much into it.
