11	Ariadne’s Thread - memory, interconnection and the poetic in contemporary art Fries, Katherine January 2008 (has links) Master of Visual Arts / This Dissertation explores the metaphor of Ariadne’s thread in terms of interconnection, when an element from the everyday is used as a locus linking broader concepts of time and space. Such experiences and associations are reflected in the work of Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Doris Salcedo, Lucio Fontana, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, Simone Mangos, Anya Gallaccio and Yoshihiro Suda. In relation to my own work, the metaphor of interconnecting thread allows a sense of freedom and journey of discovery. My studio and related research are closely aligned in developing my understanding of interconnection, through my studio process of making and continuing experiences of looking at and interpreting others artists’ work. contemporary art Ariadne’s thread poetic memory interconnection sculpture painting installation photography Kath Fries drawing The Greek myth of Ariadne’s thread The metaphor of the labyrinth Threads, webs and narratives The Fates of ancient Greece Spiderwoman creation myths Louise Bourgeois Eva Hesse Tracing scars, cracks and ruptures Doris Salcedo Lucio Fontana Richard Tuttle Interwoven Memories Mona Hatoum Simone Mangos Anya Gallaccio Yoshihiro Suda the everyday in contemporary art slumbering artwork Life-support Dancing with Silence Shibboleth Wall whispers Unfurl I wanted to tell you To have and to hold Mirror, Mirror Encroach
