Day 7

Ruudt Peter 

Many of the works we saw today were made out of resin and he had black in majority of his works.

I loved the blown glass sculpture, loved the sound of it. I really loved his ring!! It was a chunky, about 6cm long, cylindrical ring made out of resin, the exterior felt like soft wood and could see each black drops inside has formed into black, loosened thin lines. It definitely didn't fit me but I just wanted to keep it as an artwork.

Galerie Rob Koudijs

I really enjoyed the collection of works the gallery presented. My favourite was Francis Willemstijn's pair of earrings! It represented a map of Amsterdam, which she developed a system, then transferred the old map on oak, with use of silver as lines dividing parts of the map. And of course, they were so expensive that I could not afford.

Gallery Ra

Gallery Ra had exhibited works of Jorge Manilla and Nils Hint as their current exhibition along with many other artists' collections.

Jorge Manilla exhibited collection of black broches of flowers she took as main inspiration in symbols and shape.

The shapes of the work were quite violent to me, but there was something aesthetically pleasing about it, and I could feel the warmth, although all the materials were black. 

Nils Hint's work was a collection of tools and everyday objects, such as combs and hair pins. They were both ended, one end was gold plated and they seemed quite mass produced. I think his works seemed quite industrialised overall.
