Looking at Large Scale Artwork
I am not planning on doing a large scale "painting" (which may also include other materials and elements to it).
VALERY KOSHLYAKOV
Really early on I took a very brief look at the work of Valery Koshlyakov whist looking at creating work with cardboard, here. I want to take another look as he work large scale in an unusual manner.

Just today I was wondering how I could create my work so that it might be easy to transport and store. I know I wasn't to create a large piece but it might be a good idea if it would be rolled without damaging the paint or maybe folded. Although I'm not sure if Koshlyakov builds these up in place, folded them down or has the whole piece together, it might be possible for it to be disassembled.
"Valery Koshlyakov’s large-scale cardboard paintings, collages and installations – sometimes hanging from the ceiling, sometimes made out of sticky tape placed directly onto the gallery walls – irreverently engage with ideas of empire." here.
Having the artwork hanging from the ceiling is something I am considering in keeping with the idea of "temporal suspension" within the mind when experiencing the sublime.
GRAYSON PERRY
I saw Grayson Perry's tapestries at the Summer Exhibition a few years ago and they where really very impressive and pretty overwhelming. They where HUGE. On top of that the colours where extremely vibrant and contrasting which made it feel chaotic. They are embroidered fabric so this also added to the intensity of these pieces so much detail done with skill (even if it was wasn't hand embroidered).
This is a really great example of the sort of thing I want my audience to experience.
Starting to look at images of large scale artwork. I have been playing with the idea of having the artwork that I make suspended, relating to the temporal suspension that happens in the mind when faces with the sublime.
This piece bellow is by Joris Kuipers. It's making me think a little differently about how I could possibly hand my work. I has a much more linear thought, sort of hung in layers moving towards the background. But now I'm thinking that perhaps sections of the mountain it's self are hung separately, maybe the sky isn't in the background but are intact above.
I found the work of Ana Bidart. Firstly I was drawn in by it's colour! Then I thought of the use of layering which I focused on quite a lot at the beginning of this project. These are made of foam which would work in the softer aspects of what I want to make, in the delightful areas. It would also be lightweight which means it might still be hung from the ceiling.
I need to do some experimenting.
