Homework #4

Lynda Benglis

1. The artist used the process of using ultra violent colors.  She would work in her studio and larger studios to work on her piece. She would pour the colors on wax, or directly on the floor to create the piece. 

2. She is trying to translate expression and her learning of what the materials are and what they can do in relationship to art history 

3. The way Benglis's piece flows is how women flow with life and materials. She said it has to do with mixing and cooking. She gave her example on how she's very involved with taste and how art is involved with surfaces chemical mixtures. 

4. The final outcome at first wasn't interesting, because I just thought it was a blob of different paint all over the floor. Then she had described what it had meant and I actually thought it was quite interesting to relate it to women and how we flow with life. I liked her choice of colors. They were very vibrant and all over the place. Considering I'm an unorganized person, I liked how the colors were going in all directions.
