While looking at artists that also used the
human form and pattern I came across Mandi Glynn-Jones who particularly caught
my eye with her style of work. This was my favorite picture of a piece of work
of hers, the reason I like this piece of work is because of the patterns she
has used and colours as they all compliment each other. Mandi Glynn-Jones has
featured on ‘the chat show blog’ where she talked about what the life of an
artist is like while answering questions about her work and the SALA Festival and
what work she would be displaying in it. The SALA Festival is for artists
living in South Australia to display their work, (South Australian Living
Artists). While Mandi Glynn-Jones was preparing for this festival she also
talks about what inspires her, I found it interesting to see she mentioned MC
Escher as one of her inspirations because of his work revolved around
Tessellation, which is a repeat of patterns that fit in together again and
again. Furthermore she goes on to mention how she is inspired by architecture
and history and how she is obsessed with pattern, that she can see it in
absolutely everything.
I
find the work that ‘the chat show blog’ feature interesting and I adore
the style of her drawings. They inspire the way I look at work and give me a
new perspective to look at my ‘Pattern and Body Form’ work, I am also
interested in looking at using colour. However I do prefer to work in black and
white because I feel that it makes the patterns more dramatic and stand out
more.
