So I’m carrying on with exploring artists work and it’s making to be a great break from the norm 
I actually can’t wait to get get back to photography all refreshed, especially since i found an old list of practitioners to write about including halsman, beaton, matta-clark, I could go on. And then I found a website of some more contemporary photography so it’s going to be a fair while of not being stuck for who to write for 
and that doesn’t happen often. My artist list has expanded as well, I have in the past written articles about my local artists and exhibitions but here, for the next few weeks, i’ll be looking at well known practitioners as well as some you may not have heard of. In fact, I may alternate after this blog, photography to art.
I should mention that this is Curly Wurly number 30 (wooo!) but seeing as in this last month or so I haven’t been consistent and I should have actually hit the 30 mark weeks ago, I’m not going to celebrate lol I shall wait until I hit 40 or 50 then I’ll probably do a special blog about my own work or one consisting of those who have most influenced my work, I’ve kind of already stared that sort of thing here: http://neeneenoodle.blogspot.com/p/photo-blog.html
oh, we did hit the photo blog 50 at the weekend just gone definitely worth a gander.
This week, visual artist Jack Welsh who is influenced by our relationship with objects in our everyday lives that are often perceived as mundane and banal.
“Our relationships to these objects are often dictated by a systematic hierarchical order that has been employed to achieve a specific goal a simple example being blocking access to part of a sidewalk being repaired or a machine dispensing tickets within a transportation system.
These objects, signs and forms weave almost silently amongst global networks, cultures and ways of life holding a unique yet static permanence defined by our relationship, interaction and compliance with these objects and systems and ultimately, the bodies that control them. My work at present draws upon these aspects alongside a strong interest in the spatial properties of objects to create sculptural artworks whose creation could be read as an attempt to critique these systems and preconceptions. ”

These forms prosper from the tension between the constructed and found materials. Welsh places importance on the found materials that give significance to the perception of the work along with the spatial concerns of the pieces. He aiming to influence our understanding of the methodical value and perception of certain objects.
“The creation of these new forms is paradoxical in that whilst the objects are often heavy and cumbersome, they are balanced or propped at odds with their state of existence – the threat of failure/collapse every present.”
I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog, this subject of art is fairly new to me to write about so sorry if it was a bit.. wooden. I’m thinking if not a photographer next week I’ll look into Paula Rego. I also want to write a couple of articles as i havne’t for a while and have come across some new groups
