Richard Wood and Jessye McDowell- In Reflection To My Work

Installation artist
I have been looking at the artist Richard Wood as I have found many similarities between his work and mine. I am using bright and pastil like colours on the walls of the structure as well having this cartoon-like building in a everyday environment.


Richard Wood- Picture 1


Richard wood uses cartoonish wood patterns in public areas, he is a English artist and his work seems enhanced by the humour of the english. His work is installed in grim surroundings by painting brightly coloured wood or by painting directly onto the walls.  In this way he decorates interiors and buildings to create a more amusing atmosphere.

My work in relation to Richard Woods
My work uses similar patterns to give a child-like atmosphere but also a sense of unease. The colour palette of my video matches as well using the pastil green and white within the video to create this childhood innocence but also mirror the horror films of the 80's.

Video artist 
Jessye McDowell work is interesting and i can see some relation of editing style but not narrative.
