TOP (2) : Material process

'Material process' is the name of group I joined. In the first impression of my group, I thought that our group is about illusion. And I did not really understand what 'Material process' mean is. 'Material process' and 'Illusion' were look like different words, but I think that I can find reason why 'Material process' is suitable for expressing my group. Actually 'illusion' could be an aspect of every art works. I think that most of art works is sort of illusion which is seen by viewers before knowing the truth how artists make or the reason why artists make. So illusion could be not enough to define my group. And I believe that this is reason why we call us 'Material process' now. Various materials were used for making tricks and illusions in our art works. And people should understand process how we use material.

So this is my process how I used few materials for my illusion. The first and the second picture, I just put glassescase on canvas, and just called them 'Painting 1' and 'Painting 2'. However people who watch this works can easily know this is not a proper painting. Even I just call that art work as painting, they will never think that works are paintings in the first seeing. However when people understand how I made a process for art works, they will kind of understanding why I called them 'Painting.' even they do not think that works are proper painting. Which is just like understanding system to use or code to use. I do not think people have to understand process to know why I called them painting. Having question 'These are not proper paintings, why does he call them painting?' should be enough to enjoy my art works.

Discovering words 'Material process' is the most interesting thing for me in this TOP unit till now. Different way to understand my art works myself is making me possible to define myself more clearly.
