Tiffany singh

For our artist talk  for today we have Tiffany singh  who  is an artist born from Newzealand, her nationality is Indian, Maori and Samoan. graduated  in university with a bachelor degree at Elam  Tiffany did not know anything about   her background heritage.  During her art practice, she has worked her practice  through her  cultural differences. such as India, so during her practice, she went to India  with out  any knowledge  about the culture history, stayed there  for three in a half years, to learn more about  the indian culture, What we have learned  from Tiffany is that most of her work is through colours, In india colours are important to  their culture,colour  is sacred, each gave a meaning g or symbol,  in our  artist talk  she showed us photographs of of her work, such as the work through  casting with wax, her three religious icons, Indian, Maori and Samoa. The sculptures are cover by spices, and placed in a geometric  grid in the  floor  with rice and soil, Her sculptures of all types of religions really caught my eye, i love how her work is   base on faith,using wax sculpture is really a n interesting  and unique aspect through the art world. very admirable  how she represents  three variety  or nationalities India, Maori Samoa. which is very inspiring  to the art world.,






Tiffany's other work of the  wax sculptures, of the table of exchange,  found it  interesting, and  appealing,  how people would really exchange their personal value   for a wax sculpture, its something you dont see that often,  well actually this  is similar to Dion  hitchens practice from the installation  of paper ,  cardboard and other object installation,  although for Tiffany singh,  i really admire and respect her works, I personally love it. because of how she   creates her work through faith and  different religions. and how  the icons was made, oil paint. giving it a nice colour effect. i guess her work is base on  an exploration of her identity, know who she is, where she came from.

  1. Thanks Ronald,

    I feel like you have done extra research here, but you didn't acknowledge it. Please, if you copy down the different website addresses, you actually get more points. Even better if you include a quote.

    You are right to say that there are similarities between Tiffany's work and the SEEK collective - but there are also differences. What are they? Also, is it a current trend that's taking place in the art world? If so, do you know what it is called?
