We took a trip to Manchester craft centre to view an artists work named Elizabeth Jane Winstanley, who was a previous student at Man Met. Her work was really structured but playful and reflected a similar outcome to Unit X, and particularly low tech hacking. She incorporated 'el wire' in to her work along with coloured acrylic, which were features in my last project. Her collection of work was named 'Tactile Illusions'. She had numerous pieces, all of which involved laser cut piece's of acrylic forming structured shapes, and she relied on the movement of the viewer to create the illusions.
I think her work has really allowed me to think about movement in my work, I found it particularly influential as I would like to involve illusions in my work.
