1. Janet Cardiff
  2. Rafael Lozano Hemmer
  3. Camille Utterback

My first choice is Janet Cardiff because I liked her use of sounds and the idea of fear being established by one sense but contradicted by another. I thought it had a similar idea of my candle stop motion of indecisive emotions (relaxation/ fear).

My second choice is Rafael Lozano Hemmer. I liked the aesthetic/ visuals of his work as well as ideas behind some of them. I especially liked “Surface Tension” and “Speaking Willow”.

My third choice is Camille Utterback. I also liked her visuals and movement in the works. I recently went to the Van Gogh Expo in NYC and her work reminded me of that.
