Artist Research -- Lizzy Waronker

There's not much that I can find about this artist in the way of biographical information, but her work is absolutely gorgeous. I'm only frustrated because there are some aspects of her work that I'd considered putting into my images before I'd found her so now I'm concerned about copying but I suppose that's silly. Anyway, here is some of her work:

Paradox Shrine

Bus Station

A Medicine for a Lady

Medicine Here

From the image I saw, she looks to be a younger artist which is interesting.  I mentioned in another blog (here) her work's resemblance to Rauschenberg's, who is another artist with work that I admire. I like that, from what I can tell, she turns the mundane into something extraordinary and unsettling... which is of course what I am looking to do.  I think my work is turning into a hybrid of the artist as photographer and photographer as artist in that I'll be building something to photograph but then the photograph itself will also be important, just as much so as the sculpted part.  Of course, this is the part I'm focusing on the hardest right now and I think by getting ideas of sculpture at work in its own element is pretty helpful, especially since I don't come from a sculpture background.
