Grayson Perry

I have decided to compare Achaintre's work to that of Grayson Perry as they are both multi-dispilinary artists that work in both textiles and ceramics. They both use modern technology to help with their textiles work but work in really different ways with different research, Inspirations and messages. I also know quite alot about the work of Grayson Perry and know there is alot of media by and about him so that I will have a wealth of research nces and inspirations to work with.

Article Layout

Today I have been experimenting with the article layout and inspired by this:

I have used a grid like design encompassing my images and columns or writing. I haven' uses neon brights like this but colours I have taken from Achaintre's own work so it all ties together nicely.

I have used an A3 sheet on photoshop as a double page spread. This is still a work in progress I have a few more pages to do and I do t want the layout to be the same throughout just linked.. but I think the colours so far are good, they are earthy and reflect not only Achaintre's work but her Inspirations of gribal masks.

Anna Backlund

The only other person I have been able to find who uses tufting as a process is Anna Backlund for House of Rym and she has only ever done this once so far.. this in itself is a good comparison though as it shows the rarity of this technique. Her work is also quite different as it is much more commercial and literal - it is aimed at an audience and hopefully one that will be willing to purchase.

Caroline Achaintre & Idols

To emphasise the importance of masks in the tribal cultures Achaintre has stated inspire her, I am going to compare how the masks represented gods or ancestors and where highly important to the cultures I will discuss whether it is therfore coincidence that her piece 'Fever' wears glasses similar to those championed by John Lennon - a modern day icon -  in the 70s.

Damien Poulain

When I first saw Caroline Achaintres work I was struck by the tribal totem pole similarities and later my research showed she is inspired by 'Primitivism'.
I wanted to find an artist who is also inspired by similar themes as Achaintre but with different results and I have come across Damien Poulain. He is also inspired by totem.poles but his work is much more commercial and pop, verybright and colourful. Made from wood they are complete opposites to Achaintres work..
