Class #4- Hw

Lynda Benglis

1. Describe the artist's process.
Lynda's process, in my opinion is very unique and abstract. Whatever comes to her she does, whether is a spilling or still pieces, drawings, she is not afraid to reveal what people may seem as absurd. Lynda's process is things of now, and of movement. Movement of what you see for example of water, body. Lynda believes there is no such thing as containment, that everything is out in the open. That is how her beautiful pieces are created.

2. What information is the artist trying to translate through this process.
Lynda is trying to translate that in art, there is always going to be continually asking questions. Questions as to why it's in movement like this, why the color, why the size, texture, shape, form, movement. There is no such thing as containment, as stated before, there should always be room for questions. The process that she takes making her art always had a reason and question.

 3. What other information is (intentionally or unintentionally) captured in the finished visual/audio work.
Intentionally in the audio work, the information that is captured is the way she describes that her work wasn't really an expression, it was more so the way she used the materials and how it can work for her. Lynda believe she is still a painter, but she's painting with liquids.

 4. Is the final outcome of the process interesting to you? Why?
 Lynda's contraband piece or different colors and her final outcome of the process is something that was very interesting to me. I enjoyed seeing the different mixes that blended together. When Lynda compared the colors and mixes to cooking, I thought she was the most creative artist I've seen.
