Whilst walking from room to room within the Tate, I found this one. This is Henry Wessel's work and I find it so interesting. I think this piece relates to the topic of indistinct really well, I have found a selection of his photos after doing research that I feel could support me work within the topic of indistinct. Wessel takes photos with people facing away from the camera or not directly looking at it, I feel that your facial features make you distinct therefore taking them away can cause you to look indistinct. Wessel captures people within their own moment and portrays it too the rest of the world. The main attraction I found to Wessel's work was the colour of his photographs. Wessel uses Kodak Tri-X, a black and white photographic film that is known for producing a silver tone within the photos. I feel the colour of these photographs would work perfectly with the vibrant colours Richter chooses to paint on his photos with. It would create a real contrast, something that would really make people look at my work. By combining my influences from both Richter and Wessel, I will be able to produce astonishing pieces of work, well hopefully.
Although CW Twombly's work is not relevant to this topic, I have to mention him. I really enjoyed studying the reason for his work and just his work in general so I was amazed when I walked into a room with three of his pieces were on the wall. I feel that this piece really helped me to look at abstraction and started to produce it. Therefore I had to mention it within this blog post. In addition to mentioning it within my blog, I filmed the room because the aesthetics of it are just astonishing.
