Relationship between line makingspace

• This installation is full ofonly flat shapes, but theartist has created arelationship between theline work as well as thecontext of the images.The illusion of form isseen in the shadow.

Irregular form creating space

• This piece I found reallyamazing, the artist hascreated a spectacle bytoying with a mundaneobject and distorting it ina way that the spacesurrounding it becomesan arena for viewing.

Emotional form

• This is really breathtaking, the line workintensifies the level of theemotion. The interestingthing here is that theform is also almostexaggerated because ofits lack of ‘fullness’.
