Roni Horn aka Roni Horn

Last weekend I visited London whilst there I went to the Tate Modern. A Roni Horn exhibition was on as well as a Rodchenko & Popova exhibtion which I found disappointing alot like a Russian version of Bahaus, also I found it pretty heavy going.  However I did enjoy the Roni Horn exhibition, I loved the mix of sculpture and photography, it is obvious throughout Horn's interest in pairs and doubles. I especially liked the phrases made into script sculptures like White Dickinson: Faith is Doubt 2006-07. Another piece that I enjoyed was Her, Her, Her and Her 2002-3 which is a grid of 64 black and white photographs shot in a locker room, they way they confused the viewer making your eyes dart across the photos. 
Another artist was Cornelia Parker with Thirty pieces of silver 1988-9 which was a collection of silver items which had been steamrolled flat and then hung from the ceiling at a low level. I could of looked at it all day.

Flyers

Today I have been working on the flyers for the Art of Tea exhibition I have been asked to take part in. I have produced some simple ink line drawings of antique teaspoons which I have been layering over some floral fabric which i have stitched into. I have then been scanning the images and layering them.

I have also started on producing the animation that will be used as visuals, combining stitched line drawings with appliqued text.
