ARTIST RESEARCH - CHRISTIAN FAUR

Another artist that uses non typical art materials to create art is Christian Faur. The work created is usually made out of crayons. I like how she has pushed boundaries by not using a typical artistic approach to create her work, it makes you think that art can be created out of anything you wish & can be anything you wish. I'm thinking now maybe I could create the portrait of Alan Turing out of computer parts, braille, apples? Who knows, I shall have a think. Below is a passage I found on Christian Faur's website & found it interesting.

"It is important, for example that we are accustomed to draw with pencil, pen or the like, and that therefore the elements of our representation are strokes and points (in the sense of dots). Had human beings never drawn, but always painted (so that the concept of the contour of shapes did not play a big part), if there were a word in common use, let's call it " line" at which no one thought of a stroke, i.e. of something very thin, but always thought of only the boundary of two colours, and if the the word "point" one never thought of something tiny, but only of the intersections of two colour boundaries, then perhaps much of the development of geometry would not have occurred."
