one of my tutors at the RCA in the early 90’s, always generous, curious and open. She gave a talk to the sculpture department with slides of work she had made. It existed in the margins, on building sites, on the streets, but always made with a genuine passion, taking the stuff of everyday and thinking of the process of creativity and how we can be a part of it. Sad to think of what future work might have been but grateful for what she did make and passed on to so many.
I found her words precisely articulate to the way she created, lived and brought forth her vision… a past “charged” as she said, with destruction and construct, destroyed and rebuilt… altho she was not athletic in anyway, she moved her mountains around, and her work was never for the timid. A bright star shines in the sky forever.
Thanks you so much for posting this tribute, Hauser and Wirth. It is wonderful and powerful, and poignant. I met Phyllida when I was a student on the Slade Summer School foundation in 2006. As many have said, she was such a generous teacher, and an incredible artist. My thoughts are with her family, and her colleagues, and the many she taught and inspired. And thank you Phyllida.
Her work, and the way she articulates her work, and shares with all of us, how she processes, is such an incredible, amazing gift! Her tenaciousness, her commitment to art, in every sense, moves me deeply. How she balanced a life as a human, a woman, an artist, and navigated it… her creativity in all realms, she made work because she is an artist. I am continually in awe. Thank you for posting this beautiful film.
Thank you for this very fitting tribute. Phyllida is one of the artists whose work and thoughts I call on when I'm feeling stuck in my own work or need a boost to remind myself to be bold in my choices.
Hard to believe it’s been 4 months already. The loss feels fresh. I’m glad we have her series PRANK showing in City Hall Park NYC as one of her final transmissions to the world! If you love PB, try to see this work!
@@user-yk1cw8im4h the same premise as you asking me your stupid question. If anyone else feels the need to respond to my comment by attacking me, you are welcome to it. Just don't expect a response. If you respond to the question with what and why you think this work exists or should exist, I welcome that conversation. I still may not respond, but at least it shows you have the capability to think for yourself. Art criticism is more than just saying what you like about a work. It is just as, or even more, important to be able to describe what you don't like about a work.
@@33akachi10 Focus on the scale, colour and texture. These are things that you probably don't consider in a day to day life in space with a function. Than you may discover some meaning from it or not. It's up to you.
