Liza Lou Response

Artist # 2 Liza Lou
My Response










Liza Lou's work is about the dangers of consumerism. Even though I kept that in mind when I responded to her work, I responded more visually than conceptually. The checkerboard pattern becomes a veil in my response sculpture piece. To me its a way to create time and space and references the victorian era. Also, the space that this sculpture creates is collapsed space.


**this is the point in the semester that I started thinking about the idea of a veil and how it relates to mirrors, and the white cloth I was using to cover up some of my construction problems with the outside of my mirror pieces. I've thought of this idea in relation to my 2-D work as well ** go look at Bill Viola's videos of people going through water!
