Fashion Magazine Origami (Process Experiment) by Ingrid Mida 2009
From what I can tell, most artists seem to work in one of two ways:
1. conceive a finished piece of artwork in their mind and execute it
2. work through a process to develop an artwork
I'm one of the people that sees a completely finished artwork in my mind's eye. I've even had dreams about the finished installation in museums no less!! The problem is that sometimes my vision has inhibited the exploration of my full creative potential.
To explore the other (dark!) side, I've been playing with process-based experiments. What that really means is taking an object and doing something to it without a preconceived idea of what it will look like in the end. This is not my preferred way of working and I've had to force myself to do it. But the results have been interesting to say the least. Who would have thought that fashion magazines could be anything other than fodder for the recycling bin?
What type of artist are you?
