Representation and expression can be used as a way of understanding the reasons why the artist may have created the work,
The artist that interested my greatly during this lecture was Ron Muek “dead dad”- his work identifies the recognisable body form but plays with scale to create conflicting ideas and representations that create a confusing debate where the mind wants to imagine a full scale man but what is shown is a small scale mini man. This therefore represents a realistic body in characteristics yet not a realic body in scale.

Bonnie kemske also interested me as an espressional artist “cast hugs”, due to the use to tactility, touch and sensitivity as a result of a hand held huggable form that encourages the viewer to embrace the ceramic forms as a way of forming a connection to usually touch deprived figure sculptures, these sculptures express a representation of the figure without it having a body nor a face.
