Dimensions - Unconfirmed: 4000 x 5000 x 5000 mm
This composition uses objects to symbolise transience and fragility, it is made of familiar domestic items that are created from the explosion. The whole space is turned into a sculptural environment due to the shadows that have been made by the presence of the damaged objects. This artist take influence from war, specifically from the British Army, as this is an exploded garden shed.
I have been influenced by this artist in terms of the way that her installation piece is displayed as it is suspended from the ceiling. I think this makes the composition look incredibly interesting and it also emphasises the sheer scale of her work. Furthermore, this explosion revolving around the British
Army could reflect how there is a fragmentation within their mind due to common illnesses associated with the Armed Forces; PTSD. As this structure is rigid, it represents how there is a harsh structure to the environment that the soldier/individual finds themselves in and so this can seem very uniform and overwhelming if this routine is too busy.I like the idea of using rigid materials to present a rigid routine and so I want to see if I can find a material that is rigid that I could work onto. I have already experimented working onto board, perhaps I could work onto plywood or plastics. I could use this idea of there being many parts to portray how many factors can contribute to depression. I like how this composition casts shadows around the room and therefore it spans more than just the physical aspect of it. This creates an eery mood which seems controlling due to the large size of the shadows. In my final piece, I could use light to create shadows to represent an encompassing darkness that the individual finds themselves in.

Forms in space ... by light
This collection is made from almost 2km of neon lighting, which has been configured into straight lines, sweeping curves and spiralling forms, and hung from the ceiling. He has expanded his practice to incorporate sculpture, photography, film and text to communicate his influences from language and perception. He uses a wide range of illumination in his compositions which display theatrical atmospheres.

Like the composition above, this is also suspended from the ceiling and I think this is something that I am going to do in my final piece as it makes the composition more interesting in terms of space. As the piece is elevated, it almost has a lost connection with the ground and so I could use this to show how an individual can lose touch with reality. I also like how the lighting has sweeping curves and this relates to the work in the style of Helen Frankenthaler that I have been doing with the soak-stain technique. I have been inspired by this artist to incorporate the fluid work that I have been doing in my sketchbooks. I want to be able to bring both of my style of works together to create a juxtaposition between my concepts - depression and escapism. I could take influence from Evans in terms of the strokes that I make and the movement this then creates. In this photograph, there is a lady standing underneath and this had led me to think about how I am going to get the viewer involved with my final piece. I want to create an interaction between the viewer and my artwork, so I am going to think about how to do this. I think I could either have the final piece completely above head-height like this composition, or allow the viewer to step inside my final piece. At the moment, I think that having my final piece above head-height would mean that not much of my artwork would be seen if I worked onto 2D. Therefore, I think I will allow the viewer the chance to step inside my final composition as this links with my theme better as I could create a mind frame of a depressed individual.
