Independent research done to understand the artists

Gascoigne
• like most her other work Gascoigne had compromised her work of use of ready-mades and re-cycled materials, in this particular one she has used :
• she has put together the work using very particular assemblage technique assemblage
• she circulates her work with grid like method, the work itself display how much she personally relies on right angles.
• Gascoigne’s work is based on a tightly structured arrangement of fundamental shapes - squares, rectangles and their composite variations - within a grid found objects, collected over long periods of time and kept until they could be incorporated into an assemblage
• Rosalie Gascoigne does little to the materials that she finds preferring to leave them in their natural state
• layers of paint on much of the wood in this work. uses a set of symbols or signs that represent particular ideas.
• Bamboo symbolises integrity since it does not bend; a single flower represents nature



Hall


• works with the social, environmental and political issues of our time
• a creator of provocative, volatile and loaded objects which need to be handled and viewed with extreme care

• looks into materials, imagery and technique

• practices look into juxtaposition of the different systems of classification and visualisation that gives these objects

• mediums look into : Tiny glass beads (which were the currency of colonisation), there are figures, heads and children's toys woven from video tape from violent war films, fantastic microcosms created from carved plastic plumbing pipe, fruits of trade carved from soap, baby clothes woven from shredded Coca Cola cans and alphabets made out of little aluminium tumbling naked men and women.
