Went to see the IMT Gallery in east London in February. I was really inspired by Amy Stephens' work, cutting corners it reminded me of the circuits drawings. I liked how the lines in the works weren't always level of perpendicular. It had elements of instability despite actually being very secure, this is something that I hope to achieve my own sculptures.
The geometric images by Ian monroe create interesting 2D spaces. These works are made of collaged vinyl this creates an clinical, shiny feel to the pieces. This therefore clarifies his ambition to put across systems of order. Due to the material it also gives a sense of the futuristic or a fantasy place. This is made more clear by the use of bright orange colours that are very unnatural. His images are very graphical and in his earlier work he explored using txt to create his shapes. If you follow the link to his website, you'll be able to access his 2008 work, Installation shot of Everything, in this piece the 2D becomes 3D seamlessly. I like how this is done may consider trying to combine 2D and 3D elements in my own practice.
