Judy Millar inspired me to use a squeegee to create beautiful waves that give my art piece more movement that it needed. The hair like lines within my art was create with the squeegee, the squeegee has made so many little marks on my art work that it looks rather inviting.

Jason Martin
Jason Martin oil paintings demonstrate his modern minimalism, and his collection of silver cast works pushes his obsession with the properties of accumulated paint and its sculptural ability to new heights. Martins art has many different colours and styles in his art work but usually uses a single colour of oil paint. Jason Martin uses a large comb-like tool, over the wet paint to create streaks, patterns, and swirls on his work to create the wonders of his work.
Jason Martin, Untitled , 70 x 60 x 14 cm,
Jason Martin work inspired me to uses different techniques on my own work as well as using bright colours. I added more than one just so it looked more intense. His work his the movement I’ve been looking for, the way it waves around or has hair line details. I think the flow it beautiful .

Alexis Neal
For Alexis Neal to express herself she’s combined weaving and printmaking in her work. Combination of printed Hahnemühle paper and raranga whakairo is the ideal union of these two mediums. She used patterns to make a repetitive process or formula to develop a striking design, and creative an exploration of materiality and shape in each of these mediums.

Alexis Neal art inspired me with her weaving, by looking at her work I wanted to create a large weave but with more colour and detail with paint. Her work has such symmetry and it so appealing to the eye. I was planing on making every Long bit of paper straight but I choose to make mine more rustic and messy.
