I find interesting that Black doesn't foucs on her work having any sort of meaning, she makes art purely for it to serve a funtion, she wants people to see her work as a physical object rather than over complicating it with a meaning. I think this is good as it allows her to play around with materials more and be free, rather than spending time worrying if her work has a meaning.
she creates raw, alive work made from traditional art materials, plaster, bits of makeup and bath bombs, her work has been described has being feminine, fragile and delicate, because of some of the materials she uses such as make up, and the coulour scheme of alot of her work being very pastal colored pinks and light colours which people analyse to much i think as being feminine however Black strongly disagrees with this, because who's to say what's feminine or not. Black uses materials that interests her, I don't believeshe is really trying to represent any hidden meaning.
I really like how earthly and natural her work is and the strong impact the large scale of each piece creates. I think Black transforms our perception of materials, we see basic materials in it's rawest form which allows us to understand them abit more I think.
