Material and processes of the artist works

Fiona Hall's artwork is picturing a golden sardine can, with some kind of golden blossom growing out of it. The piece first appeared in 1990 among some of her other well known pieces from her sardine can series called Paradisus Terrestris. The artwork is made out of aluminum and steel. I like the choice of material and especially the choice of color that she has chosen for the piece, because it is not the most common color to set on trash.
Hall manages to, by using these materials and textures, to make the flowers seem alive and as if they are growing without any disturbance at all from the hard and solid can that surrounds its roots.

Tracey Moffatts work is called Doomed and is originally from a video collage she made with the theme of Doom and destruction. The goal was to picture war, terror and violence, as they often appear in the movies.
This piece wasn’t made by hand, but from techniques using cut-and paste editing. I think it is very well made, and there were other artworks as well to this series that was very capturing and looked very realistic. The works from this series are taken from both fictional and also reconstructed events of disaster.
I think that she made the right choice using computers to this particular piece, because even with great skill in drawing, this caption and result is not very easy to achieve by hand.
