I have never felt that my work is inspired by what is going on but feedback from other sites proves to differ, I’m just playing with balance.
This piece is slowly going in the right direction I only have four more heads to carve. The inclusion of the wood chips also add to it.
I’ve also been trying to read I’m currently split with a few books, Joseph Beuys what is art
Arte Povera ( which is making a bit of an impact )
And Documents of contemporary art Craft
I like this opening by Henry Heerup from 1944
Much Folk Art is domestic work. Not thought of as that which we would normally call art but simply as decoration. Therefore I suppose ornament is the basic form of folk art.
I expect it makes sense to me as I feel like my art practice is based within the craft, art and folk art realms
