Reflection time: My boundaries really testing me (Part Two).

Yes, process is important, however reflection time also forms part of that and so I did some reflecting to overcome this block...

I researched on further artists from the Internet, returned back to all the researches I had done previously and also carried out some of Les's formula- "cutting, tearing, pulling,bending,sticking, etc, etc.."

This is what came through:

1. I realised that I had been overwhelmed by the beauty of my beautifully dressed friend and dancer and she subconsciously became my ONLY focal point, which was not what I had in mind at first. I was stressing too much on her and was forgetting other ideas that I had thought of at the start of the task.

2. I discovered the contemporary artist Suzan Drummen (who most definitely has the "wow" factor) whose work is a fusion from Indian motifs and personal development with decorative collage and installations/participations.

3. By looking at my previous sketches, I found out that I wanted to add these ideas "literally" as they were more truthful of what I wanted as mood.

4. I needed to do some precise and simple planning of what I was going to do at the next session at the "baitka", which will be on for tomorrow (Sunday 19th October 2014-morning at 08:00 mauritian time) and which will be a class of meditation and yoga.

The Dutch artist: SUZAN DRUMMEN. 

large-scale floor installations and mesmerizing and complex circular patterns made out of mirrors and brightly colored glass.  the fractal-like arrangements feature ornate and elaborate circles growing exponentially out of each other and vibrant rings of spiraling colors winding into the surface of the floor. they are composed of crystals, chromed metal, precious stones, mirrors and optical glass. a sensory experience, and visually stimulating, the glittering installations play with the architecture of the space — climbing up walls and sweeping across the surfaces — examining the idea of illusion and optical effects.

when viewed from a distance or from above, the work looks organized and neat, but with close contact, visitors enjoy seeing the many intricate details resulting from the skilled craftsmanship that goes into each art piece. in much of her work, Drummen places each glossy element loosely on the floor, making the artwork vulnerable and ephemeral.
