Kate Kretz
Physical Memory/ Last Goodbye Dress 2002.
I feel that Kretz's work is quite dark and morbid which is emphasized by her dark website. On the home page there is a link to see her most recent works provided by www.flickr.com. Flickr is light with little going on to avoid any distraction for the images. Kretz's works are immediately seen in a different way which i think is interesting as the viewer. I feel that her intentions of the dark website is a reflection of the morbid art but i don't think she made the right decision. I feel that her website takes away from her art. The piece above reminded me of something I tried with my prints.
Using my embossed prints I used photography to photograph the presence back onto the underwear. The result was interesting but I felt that clothing is enough of a signifier of the female form that the prints themselves were enough. Sometimes less is more maybe Kate Kretz should take this into consideration when designing her website!
