--I choose to include more images of Frank Stella's work because they also relate to my work for multiple reasons. First, the sculptural elements are interesting and similar to my work. I don't work with the same materials (i mostly work with foam because I am still feeling out working in reliefs), but I am concentrating on the relief elements of these pieces. Seeing that most of these are mounted to the wall, I looking at how their compositions maybe somehow relate to being shown on a wall. Plus, its educational of how so someone established approaches the stacking and layering of panels and objects. Second, his color palette in these intrigued me. I like how its bold and vibrant in some pieces and others are more muted but still exudes vibrancy. Third, these pieces also give me examples of patterns and shapes in an organized/clean way and also in a loose/painterly way. As i mentioned before, I am interested in perhaps moving away from the flat solid shapes and moving to a more fluid/loose/painterly depiction of shapes.
