1. The first artwork that made an impact on me was Eric and Heather Chanshatzs' painting. It almost looked like a collage of some sort, but it was a painting on a silk canvas. It was very colorful which caught my eye right away.

 

 

The second artwork that made an impression on me was Ellen Gallagher's "Bubbel". It had amazed me to see such fine thin lines created on linen, using oil and ink. I would have guessed the oil and ink would have spread out on the linen. She has done an amazing job controlling that.

2.I felt a connection with Jennifer Steinkamp's Dervish 1. I have seen her work in our textbook, so felt I had knowledge about it. 

 

A second work that I felt connected with was Lisa Stefanelli's "Bellwood". I felt connected simply because of the dark purple color of the oil. Purple is my favorite color so I was very attracted to the piece of work. I also really liked the different strokes throughout the artwork. It was very beautifully made.

 

3.I would really like to know more about all of Peregrine Honig's pieces. They are cartoon like watercolor  paints on a paper. The one that stood out most to me was thru "Sex Trade for Vera Wang". I would describe the painting as cute and fashionable, but the title of the work sounds as if it is FAR from cute. I would love to know more about the meaning behind it.

 

I would also love to learn more about Tristano Di Robilant's glass work of "Tree of Knowledge". I wonder if his creation of bubbles and glass symbolizes something with knowledge. Why did he decide to use glass to create a "tree"?
