One of her pieces "Extended Arms" reminds me of my silks piece as the woman is wrapped up in a red fabric so that she can no longer move. I find this very interesting as it is almost a juxtaposition to my work!

Rebecca Horn
Rebecca Horn is an artist that I feel very fond of! I love her work with extending limbs and her work with feathers intrigues me a lot( I have a fascination with birds!)

In circus when we want to create new ways of moving, we limit ourselves, eg. not allowed to sit, changing levels with every move, tying limbs so they cannot be used. I feel like this would work really well with sand, but first I want to try it with paper. I'm going to try and tie my legs up similar to the image, and then move around the space to "draw" an image onto the paper with paint or charcoal.
