shelly rhodes

Here I have looked at another artist to see if it could gain anymore more inspiration. I picked Shelly Rhodes as she also used mark making in her work but in unusual way. Here are some pictures i found very inspiring.

  I feel this one reminds me of a hilly background with a wooden fence. The black xs and bold lines represent the wooden fence and the white marks with the back out line behind it represents hills. I don't know if she intended it to look like that but thats what i see.

I can also see images here in another piece she has done on n the boron right I see an eye with lashes and a tear. Again I don't know if she intended to do this but if not maybe when she was creating the marks she was thinking of something or someone sad or happy tears or just certain memories and with out realizing it she has subconsciously created the eye and tear drop.

Overall I like her work I can see looking at my own marks certain images that could be seen as an eye or a building. I think that when I'm mark making in the back of my mind I am thinking of a certain memory or place and I some how recreate it in my marks. Shelly rhodes has been very inspiring I look forward to my end results.
