Marie-Therese Wisniowski Marie-Therese Wisniowski works full time as a studio artist, researcher, tutor and is the Director of Art Quill Studio. She is from New south wales, Australia. Marie specialises in the area of ArtCloth, artist printmaker books and limited edition prints. She has created signature techniques that she has named “Matrix Formatting” “Multiplexing” and “Low Relief Screen Printing (LRSP) in her silk screened works and “MultiSperse Dye Sublimation” (MSDS) in her ArtCloth works using disperse dyes on synthetic fibres.

I have referred to some of her wok when creating my own decay collage. Her use of negative space as a border draws your eye to the details and the washed blue colour adds a beautiful cool tone to the piece, I use quink ink to do something similar in my own work. Having never really done 3d d

Dan Flavin Dan Flavin was an American minimalist artist famous for creating sculptural objects and installations from commercially available fluorescent light fixtures. I find his work extremely distinctive, with his use of fluorescent light tubes and negative space it creates an extremely striking sculpture. The way he chooses to use his space such as the corner, the bottom of a narrow room or just on the wall with empty space makes every piece have a different effect.   I have been very inspired by is use of colour, the warm and cool tones give different vibes for each piece which makes each individual one interesting. The glow from the tubes gives dimension and the illusion of warmth. Flavin once said: ‘Everything is clearly, openly, plainly delivered. I love this description as it shows not everything has to be complex and chaotic, I think the simplicity is easy on the eye.   He uses pattern in some pieces such as the bottom right with the squares, the repetit
