Strange flowers
Hussein Chalayan
Philip Treacy
Dale Chihuly
Andy Warhol - “isn’t life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?”
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh
Alan Fletcher’s - his play with the colour blue: JAZZ BLUES, BLUEBLOOD, ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, BLUE STOCKING, BLUE FIT, FEEL BLUE, BLUE MURDER, BLUE PENCIL, BLUE FILM, BLUEBEARD, BLUE MOOD, BLUE FUNK, CORDON BLEU, TRUE BLUE, MOOD INDIGO...
On Kawara, in one of his earlier projects he sent telegrams to his friends saying, “I am still alive.” Nowadays, he has a twitter page that follows the same principle.It is another example of series. But in this example, the expression in the same: what changes is the person, On Kawara, as he progresses through time.
The goddess of flowers, gardens, and Spring:
Chloris seen by Botticelli.
6. Homework - Today, from your one blue flower you will make a series of blue flowers.
Making a series of flowers from one of my previous blue flowers would be easy if I had more PET plastic. But I runned out of PET in the house, the weather was terrible to go outside, and yes, I had to move on. So I moved to a different kind of plastic. Sorry if I'm not following the rules this time. These flowers are made with my shampoo containers. Now I have the remaining shampoo in a glass! I played with the shapes. I wish I had more plastic containers!
(And please remember that I do not wish to participate in the Berlin exhibition.)
