concentration??? new direction???

Am I Moving On? 

I've recently REALLY been thinking about how the project I'm working on now is going to affect people. I like the idea of being able to captivate my audience and see how they will respond to my work. 

Ann Hamilton 

Mrs. Miller suggested that I continue to look into different artists and see how their works can affect me. Ann Hamilton is one of these artists. She is very interesting. After looking into her, I feel like I want to expand this idea of reaching vast audiences in large and sometimes overwhelming ways. Hamilton used swings in one piece to incorporate her audience... (See pictures below)

She also uses the walls and ceiling to incorporate people into her work. 

What I Have Taken From This Artist 

After studying Hamilton, I have thought of a few ideas. I want to capture this idea of emotion and other people's feelings in other ways. I want to maybe expand to a new medium and use video to portray these emotions (sadness, joy, anger, frustration, peace...) Like Hamilton, I want to use the audience's surroundings by projecting these videos onto a wall. This way, the audience can experience these emotions and possibly be overwhelmed by them. I'm really excited to see how this idea will play out in my next project. 

Sorry this blog was a little shorter.. :)
