Looking at the sculptural work of Charlotte Posenenske, I am interested in how she uses simple, industrial-looking forms to create sculptures that interact with the space around them.
The sculptures are made from modular sections that can be arranged and rearranged into different configurations. This means that the work does not have one fixed form. The way it looks can change depending on how it is installed and the space that i occupies. I find this interesting in relation to my own work, particularly my recent work with freestanding structures. Posenenske makes me think about the structure itself as part of the artwork, rather than simply something that holds or displays an artwork.
I am also interested in how her sculptures can affect the way people move through a space. They can be walked around, moved between and experienced from different viewpoints. This makes the viewer's physical relationship with the sculpture important.
I have also had a look at some of her other work and have found that she uses a very limited colour palette of red, blue, and yellow (the primary colours), and uses them as solid colours (no blending). This has made me think about my own limited colour palette again. Is it really a comfort zone? Is it effective? Can I use my colour palette in different ways?
