Leah Fusco

In the morning, we were given a lecture by Leah Fusco on her latest project about The Northeye. I have always found Leah Fusco's work intriguing as her style and way of work is very different from my personal way of working and therefore it has always been quite interesting fore me to see and learn the methods of Leah and the reasoning behind some of her methods of working.

On thing that stuck to me from her lecture was the importance of perspective, as she had done a project on The Longman prior, she had a lot of examples to show us and talk about allowing me to see how perspective sometimes really effectively ground a subject that may otherwise stand out quite a lot. As I work with animals, I found that playing perspective would be potentially very rewarding for my work as I would like , in the new future, to produce a full size drawing of the tigers I work with and then produce a series of work off of that one.

I was also really inspired by how Leah Fusco played with the notion of hinting at her subject in her paintings with suggests a certain ambiguity and mysteriousness that surrounds Owling. This shows me that in order to make any subject for that matter pop in your work, there really is no need to put it front and centre on the contrary, showing on glimpses of it actually makes it stand out more.
