It seems that from when I started looking at Rolph's work, one thing I struggled to gain, which Rolph achieved in his work, was the feel of permanency and togetherness his work has. Despite being made up of found objects, materials and shapes. However since then, my work now tips the scales towards being permanent as apposed to being stuck in limbo between being temporary and permanent.
Along with this after looking deeper into the way Rolph uses conversation in his work; especially in his more recent exhibition 'Kissing Balloons in the Jungle', it helped me to understand different concepts to use and experiment with in my own pieces when using geometric shapes and the layering of these shapes. This exploration has also made me gain confidence when it comes to experimentation as I find it easier to determine whether a piece will work or not a lot earlier on; also if a piece does end up not turning out how I'd originally hoped, I find it easier to analyse what went wrong and how I could progress.
