This weekend I traveled down to LA to see an installation by an artist that is very special to me. My former Design 2 Teacher from my CC is an amazing artist who does very precise installations with flagging tape. She constructs them with amazing precision to create geometrically interesting formations that engulf the viewer. She recently did an installation at urban outfitters in LA and it was so interesting and playful looking. Megan Geckler is an artist that had a very unique idea and has run with it to make a very distinct identity for her work. She has done installations in the Wexler Museum and the Pasadena Art Museum which is what the picture below is from. I also saw that one and liked it a lot.
I feel that her work shows that even though something falls under the category of modern non representational art with simple materials that doesn't mean that it has to be boring or weird or childish and unskilled as I feel a great many contemporary artists today are doing. This work is so precise and planned out and executed beautifully with the weaving and the cleanliness of the design I believe that the design elements present in her work are something that should be addressed by more modern artists.
