Edie Sackville-West
Throughout my IB Art course , I have focused on how repeating structure is used to communicate ideas . As well as focusing on the beauty of art , I also seek to ask questions when looking at art – what were the feelings of the artists when doing this ; what was the context at the time this was created ? I wanted to evoke the same feeling in those who viewed my art . I concentrate on organic patterns , exploring ideas through textiles , paintings , pottery , printing and more . I explore ideas such as the power of nature and the impact that individual objects can have when they come together to form something bigger . I was particularly inspired by Cody Holt ’ s exploration of structure and pattern , and how structural shapes can be contrasted by textural ones . I was also inspired by the complexity of the world around us – nature , buildings and society , drawing some of my pieces of art from photos that I have taken .
