A good example of this is in his piece, 'Variant (Working hard, hardly working)'. Because of the translucent materials Bick has used, what becomes interesting in this piece is that there aren't just the relationships between the more obvious shapes but also the subtle shapes created from the layering of the shapes and materials. This is something I decided to take into my own work as I found, instead of showing very overt contrasts in my work to represent conversation, showing subtle contrasts gives the pieces more depth, which is something that I found very important especially as I'm working with two dimensional shapes.
Something that differs between this piece and my recent work is that I've still been focused on using very vibrant colours which in some pieces can hurt your eyes to look at because of the strength in saturation. So, even though I've been looking at the subtleties of creating new shapes through layering, I feel in comparison to Bick, I may have gone over the top slightly on my colour choices. I intend to experiment more with these colour choices to find out whether they work in the pieces I make.
