Research of Artworks

Fiona Hall

Fiona Hall created brain shaped objects attaching wasp nest resembling parts and attaching this to the ceiling. Her artwork suggests a comment on knowledge and its existence in the natural world.
The artwork is Fiona Hall's sculpture is made of a type of reinforced fibre glass called resin plastic. A layering process is used fibreglass. She would've created a brain shaped mould and treated it with resin. The process of reinforcing fibreglass involves layering pieces of fibre glass within a brain mould and applying resin on the surface as well as other coatings such as a gel coat for a smoother, harder finish . The mould is separated from the component using wedges and compressed air.

Rosalie Gascoigne

Rosalie Gascoigne uses old, discarded objects found lieing around suggesting sadness to her work.

Rosalie Gascoigne used found objects to create her artwork. She found scrap plywood from used soft drink crates. She then sliced the wood using a bandsaw, into thin, uneven slivers. She kept the text which was printed on the crates and painted the squares in different colours. The arrangement she used places the pieces horizontally and vertically to form a chequerboard of rough squares.
