MY ANALYSIS
THE USE OF COLOUR IN DION'S WORK CREATES A SOFT AESTHETIC AND WELCOMES THE VIEWER TO FURTHER INSPECTION.
THE ELEMENT OF ORGANISING SHAPE SIZE FURTHER IMPLIMENTS AN OBSESSIVELY CURATED AESTHETIC THAT THE VIEWER CAN FEEL GRATEFUL FOR.
THE WAY IN WHICH DION DECIDES TO WORK IN THE SPACE ALLOWS BLANK AREAS TO BE AS IMPORTANT AS THOSE FILLED WITH OBJECTS.
THERE IS A CLEAR, REGIMENTED METHOD IN THE WAY DION DECIDES TO DISPLAY OBJECTS. I FIND THE ORGANISATION ADDS A NEW MEANING TO PREVIOUSLY FORGOTTEN OBJECTS.
COMMUNICATION THROUGH DISCIPLINE (ORGANISATION IN THIS CASE) IS SOMETHING I CAN APPLY IN MY OWN WORK.
