The Ten Things (The last five)


6. Tim Walker (Photographer)


I particuarily like Tim Walker's work because of the sense of story telling and the surreal, dream like quality of the images he produces. He is mainly a fashion photogrpher, but his concentration is often not so much on the clothes but on the feeling created by the setting, props and clothing combined.





7. Peter Blake


Peter Blake's work always inspires me to to something with my massive collections of things. I love the way his works seem to preserve and document the past.




8. Lothar Baumgarten, Culture - Nature


I haven't researched this artist much, but this image always makes me think of discovering hidden or lost things. I am constantly inspired by the idea of 'treasures' or discoveries.


9. Robert Rauschenberg, Minutae (1954)


Rauschenberg's work is always a collage of either silkscreen prints, paper and objects or both. To me, his works are like huge scrapbooks documenting a journey, a thought, a mood or an emotion.


10. Kay Neilsen, An illustration from East of the Sun and West of the Moon

Throughout my life, the thing that has most often inspired me are the illustrations of fairy tales. When i was little, they completed the story for me and inspired me to draw princesses in beautiful dresses. This interest in costume and fanatasy is still evident in a lot of my work.
