David Spriggs - 3D paintings



David Spriggs creates his pieces of work by painting onto individual sheets of glass, which are then lined up to create a 3D painting, with the perspective changing depending on where you stand.

Egon Schiele - Continuous line drawings



Egon Schiele is one of the most well known artists to have experimented with continuous line drawings, with the above picture being a self-portrait.

I think it would be interesting to represent a continuous line drawing in 3D.



Jim Denevan - drawings in the sand



Jim Denevan draws in the sand with sticks and rakes. What interests me about his work is the fact that due to its nature, it can only be temporary. Any photographs of it represent a moment in time.

I am interested in transience in society, moments which can only be represented by a moment, as opposed to a longer period of time.

Obviously this sand drawing lasts longer than a moment, but the fact that it was made knowing that it would soon fade is something I am interested in, observing the before and after effects of a piece of art work.



Bernard Pras - Assembled Art



What I like about this guy's art work is the fact that perspective greatly affects how well you perceive the work.

What interests me is transience in art work, and this represents that notion well; I imagine passing by, and only for a split second to I catch a glimpse of the emperor, when all the material is aligned.



Mark Khaisman - Tape Art



Different kind of tape to the last one.

I think this relies on lighting to take advantage of the tape's translucent capabilities

Utilizing translucent colours in light-based work that would otherwise be colourless would be interesting.






Erika Iris Simmons - Audio Tape Art



Audio tape art by Erika Iris Simmons

This follows the contour drawings concept, where art done with the tape of a cassette is inherently linear in style.

This newspaper sculpture


Reminds me of the bald-faced wasp's nest, also made from paper:




It's nice to see inadvertent links to nature.
