Copper sulphate, Roger Hiorns knows all about its properties
and in one Google search so can you,
yet, Hiorn's is not a scientist and he is
not aiming to educate, and nor is this a blog of mere description of a writers
feelings , or my own ideologies associated with my interpretation.
Instead, this is the why,
the association which the fine artist applies to their practice, their finished
piece. This soul question in turn objectifies
the viewer in the way of associating
their own intellect, to the reasoning behind transforming a block of
flats into the glittering sculpture.
The true answer is one of unrivalled simplicity for it is the
answer of every viewer; their own individual response of another's existentialism,
in turn shaping a new perception formed out of their existing feelings.
In one perspective, this is the encapsulation of incomprehendable
shapes, shadows and negative space all created out of one explosion...supported
and captured in this photograph. Cornelia
Parke's sculpture is therefore a lot of different feelings for a lot of
different people; the depth of her exploded shed is not as deep as one might
imagine; to engage with it is to move inside, to become part of the motionless
explosion, the life-force of the suspense.
Memories, feelings, all captured and presented in any one of
the following instillations by Annet Messager.
The reasoning behind this investigation was quite simple, to
find three fine artists who have used transformation in their art work. Yet, the answer to this investigation
arises not from anyone of the chosen examples, for countless others could have
been used to exemplify the following point. That the power of fine art is transformation,
the power to shape a viewer's perception through their own response, their own
interaction with that of the artist's thoughts.
