An artist that does sculptures that realates to spiders. I find that the spiders are compositionally pleasing. They appear to be made from recognizable polygons that have been texturized and stretched. I can see myself making insect like creatures that have similar features. They seem dark in a Tim Burton sense, but still pleasing.

His artwork seems based on cubes and spheres that have been altered to make almost minimalist sculptures. The works remind me of symbols or monuments. Only pleasing for composition, which I find extremely enjoyable. Using symplistic shapes with smooth symbols. Being minimalist means extreme attention to detail with the smoothness of the sculptures, which is something that I admire. I think his works may be the most incorporated in my future project.

His works are polygonal cubist sculptures that are large in size. All sculpures are smooth and prysm-like. They are remniscent of optical illusions. I am attracted to optival illusions for one can look at it and be confused, amazed, or simply look at it for long periods of time. Being able to make something so complicated and compelling is truly inspiring.
Robert Smithson
Another polygonal artist. I especially like his peice "Cardboard Holiday." Working with edgy cubist shapes he is able to made surreal furniture. Everything looks very sharp and neat An excellent Artist.
Barbra Hepworth
An artist who employs curves and holes with her sculpture peices. The peices are interesting because you can see through the clean holes in certain areas while the actual sculpture is hollowed out. By looking at the sculptures through different angles the peice becomes more interesting. Employing a-symmetircal aspects to the peice creates unique eye path to the peice. I believe that symmetry is very effective in creating a pleasing composition, however Barbra Hepworth's works show how a-symmery can be affective as well.
