the work of ingrid calame

ingrid calame's work does seem familiar because it is sort of like what we have been doing. she doesn't know how her drawings will end up looking because she is tracing stains and then layering them and seeing as she has no control over what the stains will look like she is doesn't have full control over how the piece will end up looking, just like we haven't had complete control. ingrid calame is an artist who traces stains and marks and then layers them over each other and then paints in the shapes and forms found in the drawing. she makes her paintings like that because when she was younger she wanted to make maps of the world and even though her drawings aren't really maps they are maps of what she sees in the paintings.

that is a painting of ingrid calame's to the left. i like it because of the colors it uses, it has mostly blue greenish colors but there are little pops of bright colors that don't exactly match with the rest and i really like how that looks. i also like how all the shapes over lap under and over each other, it gives the piece depth, like it sort of looks like if you were to walk straight into it you could walk pretty far. Lastly i like all the different thickness of shapes. there are some very thick large lines and shapes and also some very small and thin lines and shapes and i really enjoy how they all come together to make a beautiful interesting piece of artwork.
