I definitely intend to follow this into my final major project: documenting, visiting, exploring. I can only hope it will take me to some exciting places and provide me with the right kind of inspiration.
As of now, I have decided to take myself out to different locations to explore. I want to look close to home, for things I may have missed before, but also try and discover new areas of inspiration. As university is my next step, it is important for me to be actively out exploring all that is available to me.
I decided to begin the project by looking at the landscape, the environment around us and the way in which we live in the world and how we interact with it. Primary research was my main focus here, and I will move towards relevant artist research.
I began by looking at spaces and the colours within them, which led me to colour studies, along with exploring different textures.
ANSELM KIEFER
Anselm Kiefer is an artist I admire for his fascinating practice. Each and every artwork produced by the artist holds so much atmosphere and intensity, something I would love to try and achieve myself. I went on and experimented with the artist as reference, looking at online sources and also thumbing excitedly through "Anselm Kiefer. Salt of the Earth", a book that showed and discussed a particular exhibition of the artists, of the same name.
It is definitely exciting to view all of the work put into the exhibition, again taking note of the display and curation involved, as well as admiring the artwork I only wish I could have witnessed first hand.

Texture and colour definitely stand out with this artist, as well as atmosphere and intention.
