One of the web pages I recently came across and since has been a daily read, is color-collective: a blog by Lauren Willhite, created as a designers' resource for colour. The blog pulls colour palettes from the work of various designers, artists and photographers.
Today the blog featured this work:
Lauren Clay, Both sides in equal parts, 2010 Acrylic on cut paper, papier-mâché, wire, wood Photograph courtesy of doublefluff |
The use of colour and materials in this art piece made me want to see more of this artist, and a little clicking and googling led me to Lauren Clay's website, where I found (amongst others) the following beauties:
Lauren Clay, Granny Takes a Trip, 2011 Paper, acrylic, papier-mâché, plaster Photograph courtesy of doublefluff |
Lauren Clay, The unending amends we've made (imperishable wreath), 2010 Acrylic on cut paper,papier-mâché, wire, wood Photograph courtesy of doublefluff |
Lauren Clay, A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, 2009 Acrylic on cut paper, papier-mâché, foam, plastic Photograph courtesy of doublefluff |
There is not a lot of text or background information on the website, but in my opinion that's not a big loss, as Lauren Clays' artworks speak for themselves.
They certainly speak to me.
