Jim Lambie

Jim Lambie was a large part of my inspiration to use the glitter aspect of AMW; the glitterized record player he did called "Ska's Not Dead" was one of the pieces I first looked at of his.

I like the way the glitter has picked up the details on the buttons and the way it brings it out against the white background. I'd like to try something like this on smaller objects, such as batteries or pens.

Some of his other work, such as with the brightly coloured tape, I find interesting as the colours really stand out and look interesting against the backgrounds they're put on, like the stairs and floors. They're so out of the ordinary and this is what I like about them.
