-a novelty items designer most known for their plush toys
-i like their interactive items that you would use, plush toys are meant to be held and cuddled
-they combine animate and inanimate and innocent vs distressing (note to jay + viewers of research- read the item descriptions!)
Arman
-works with “assemblage art” where many readymade objects are used as the medium
-i like the quality of accumulation
-has a “hoarder” aesthetic I’m interested in
Andy Goldsworthy
-very interesting use of negative space in sculpture
-the natural colors of his sculptures are appealing, i’d like to capture that
-the surfaces vary between being smooth and bumpy, i like that contrast
