Introduction to the Media

When I first thought about the media or type of art I wanted to explore I thought "well my own work is very much land art based so it would make sense to write about the alternative way these artist approach art outside of the gallery". Although this is true, the more I thought about it, the more a lot of these works seemed to appear in traditional gallery layout, in the form of a series of photographs etc. So instead I thought I would look at something more available to the general public and look at Guerilla or Street art. When I first looked at this type of art I was a bit dubious. I'm very much a country girl and nature etc is a strong theme in my land art. Street art seemed alien to me, completely the opposite of who I am as an artist. Its my sister's fault I started looking at it really. She bought me a book from The Tate Modern I think, for Christmas, and it opened my eyes to what Guerilla art actually was and its scope.
