During a recent visit to Liverpool's Bluecoat Chambers, built in 1716-17 as a charity school. There I was able to stumble across an inspirational artist Michael Brennand Wood who's work stood out amongst the rest. An explosion of colour, almost jumping out at you as you walk by his Footloose from the series Vase Attacks 2009. This is a 3D model in the shape of a shoe, however defeats its object as visually it appears more ornamental than useful. His focus behind his pieces have cultural meanings as well as social and political values. Brennand's work i believe will be good when in search of inspirational influences as i like not only his work but also the hidden meaning behind each piece. As the viewer you are left in the dark and don't quite get, nor do you fully understand each piece unless you have researched the object your interested in, in order to appreciate its true value.
