Robert Janson - The juxtaposition of weight is what makes this piece interesting. The multitude of plastic bags gives it heaviness, while the fact that it is plastic and clear gives it lightness. I could imagine playing with this idea.
Carolina Fontoura Alzaga - I like the juxtaposition of the light and elegant feel of the chandelier with the heavy, bike chain metal. This kind of interplay is intriguing, the mix of "masculine" and "feminine" elements.
Yuliya Kyrpo - I find the texture on this especially interesting and feel i like I could recreate it easily. It looks jagged and hard to wear although it is made of only paper, and the color brings a softness to it.
Brandon Jan Blommaert’s - I was drawing to this image because of the texture. Simple cirles of varying size bring real dynanicism to the piece and feels almost random.
Tomas Libertiny - I like both the visual and the
(anticipated) tactile effect. It is especially interesting because of the gradual removal of the beeswax and hive pattern towards the outside of the limbs. I imagine it would be a little sticky to the touch, and would be a sensory aspect to a piece.
Mass Studies- A Korean architectural firm - I like this, like I like many of the other pieces I chose, because of juxtaposition of material and weight. It look light but is also stable and hard.
Joanne Grune-Yanoff - I like this mostly because of the idea of man vs. nature, which is something I put in my work often. I enjoy this because it comparison to most work you see, it seems as though there is a peaceful balance instead of push and pull of power.
Alicia Beck - I like this texturally,. It looks like it is coing to be soft and luxurious, but is made out of deflated balloons.
Hafsteinn Juliusson - I am really into this idea- containing an environment for our own person. It is both ridiculous, because you shouldn't contain natur,e but genius, because you are harnessing nature at the same point.
Emelie Meldem - I like this texturally, as it is jagged and industrial while stille looking organic.
Tara Duff - I like this object both practically and texturally. It is very smart because it draws the eye in but is representative of a real object. I am very interested in that idea- paper/crochet/sewn objects representing real objects.
Alexander McQueen - I like the fluid feel and airy quality to this work. It is grand and natural at the same time. The proportions make it powerful.
Hutchison and Maul - I like the light play of this piece. It reminds me of the light boxes you have as a child- but intensified. There is a massve amount of small light, but not more so than the black - even with an open window- which i think is interesting.
Tyree Guytonn- The intricate pattern of the house is what drew me in initially- which appears just to be many layers of dots. I then saw the sculpture in front, which is very interesting. I like the accumulation of random objects.
Sweden's Tree Hotel - The natural feel and texture is what I like most about this piece. It is reminiscent of a birds' nest, which is something I'm also interested in.
Scott Weaver- The intricacy of this piece is what drew me in. It took a simple and inexpensive medium and took it to extraordinary heights.
Ha Schult - I enjoy this most texturally. I like the hap-hazard accumulation of elements into something unique.
Jan Kempenaers - I like this one mostly because of context. For a moment, you could believe that it is a rock structure naturally part of the landscape, intricately carved. This makes the fact that, when you look at it closely, you realize it is manmade, more powerful.
Laurent Le Denuff - What drew me to this piece the most is the antiqued quality of the elephant. It lokos as though it is something that has been lost and left to the element for many years.
Nava Lubelski - The destroyed texture of this cloth brings a new level to the "feminine" quality of the cloth. I like things that look a little tattered and unkept.
Nava Lubelski - I really enjoy the texture of this and have made thing similar. I feel like this issomething I could employ effectively, and would be an inexpensive option.
Daniel Firman - I ,again, like this because of amalgamation of random objects. It wouldn't make sense if not for it being one, solid color.
Brian Dettmer - I enjoy this piece a lot, and feel it could be recreated with larger books. The transformation of everyday objects into art objects is something that I look at a lot. The visual of the layers creates a lot of contrast which draws the eye in.
Ronit Baranga - I like this because it makes you feel uncomfortable, you can feel what it would be like to use the plate with the mouth.
Troy Emery - I like this both for color and texture. I tend to be draw to the extremes- extreme pastels and saturated hues. The roundness is more interesting here than the softness.
Sonja Vordermaier - I like the visual and proportion of this object. You feel as though it is going to overtake the room.
Kathy Ruttenberg - I like this conceptually, although not as much in fruition. I like to play with the idea of nature overtaking man.
Jason Hopkinds - I like this one because of the gross factor. It feels as though it is tumorous, growing quickly, overtaking the form at top.
Ji Yong-Ho - This is interesting because of the texture. Yong-Ho used old tires to create this piece, an the texture creates eh roughness which completes the piece.
Yuken Teruya - I like this because its a very non-natural medium to create something organic.
