Studio Spaces + Textures

























(Word: Cranium, Underground, Texture 'Rigid' applied to walls)

This is the type of studio that I would imagine Fiona Hall working in to create this sculpture called Understory from her exhibition Force Field. The room is cold and morgue like, which could have inspired her to create this morbid theme. The room gives the appeal of being clinical and sterilised. The colours are stark opposites being white and black. There is a black cross in the far wall as the backdrop for the artwork. The black symbolises death which coincides with the message of the cross. The black cross has reference to life and death, being another inspirational factor. There are multiple cylinders and curved objects throughout the studio that are all stark white, which relate to the most organic curved object; the skull. Interestingly Hall's studios is underground below the mountains. The room is long and thin with no windows. The room is symbolic of a coffin again representing death. The feeling that i have created for Hall's studio is rather dark and depressing symbolic of her artwork.
