Some of my Influences.......
Ben Vautier.
During my Foundation Diploma I visited The Consumer Art Exhibition in Tate Liverpool, and I came across this piece of work.
Titled ''Le Bazart'' by Ben Vautier
This was the first piece installation art to have a profound influence on me, at the time one of my friends commented ''it looks just like your sketch book but in 3d''
it was after that trip I started designing my own installations.
One thing I did like personally was the fact I couldn't read the majority of the text, that in its self started off the tangent of odd phonetic writing.

Mark Dion
This artist has fascinated for a very long time the Idea of using archaeology in art.
Pictured here is the Tate Thames Dig, currently on display at Tate Modern.
Towards the end of my degree I visited ''The Bureau for the study of surrealism and its legacy'' at the Manchester Museum, this was another one of Mark Dions wonderfull pieces.
