  2. Identify the key conceptual ideas that underpin their work.
    Transparency with a vivid outline.
  3. Identify their critical position on colour in relation to their work (ie. How is colour applied, in what proportions, what particular theories about colour inform the making of the work, how does colour change dependent upon the environment in which the work is viewed .
    Violet – transparent sculpture with a vivid violet outline.
  4. What type of surface treatments are used in the work? Do they use matte, satin, or gloss paints or material finishes or all of them together? Why might they do this and what is the effect off doing this?
    Silk – create transparency in the installation.
  5. What scale are the artworks you have researched? How does scale impact on how the work is experienced and how colour and materiality are perceived?
    It is made life-size (12m by 15m) so that when people enter the space they would experience the same as they would in a real house.
    The transparency of the silk in the work allows the viewer to be able to connect to the inside and outside of the installation.
