CSAD Catalogue Submissions I believe that art should be an experience, where the viewer interacts and explores the installation space and the work within it. As an artist, I strive to create work that is able to evoke emotions and awaken the senses of the viewer, which I believe, makes an installation effective. Artists such as Yayoi Kusama, and her infinity mirror installations and Tara Donovan, with her use of everyday objects, have vastly inspired my own work over the years. The natural world has also been a major influence in my art, and crystal Elinor Williams caves specifically, are the main source of inspiration for my final piece. Artist Designer: Maker Paper is the main medium of my work, as it is a mundane, everyday material that society tends to hold no value to or see no beauty in. The relationship between paper elinormwilliams@outlook.com and light is the focus of my work. The installation consists of paper that, through 07508938864 scoring, folding and manipulating, form into organic, tubular structures that have a likeness to naturally formed crystals. elinorwilliamsmaker.wordpress.com The fluid but clean forms emit a glow as the light diffuses through the layers of the paper. An ethereal atmosphere is created, as the light transforms the shapes, and the beauty of the paper is highlighted. The forms have a sense of depth and dimension, as well as fragility once lit, and they almost don’t even resemble the material, paper, anymore. The paper used in the installation is handmade by myself, using only found scraps and offcuts of paper.
