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.

Thanks Ronald,
ReplyDeleteI 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?
