What—
The methodology of the artist seems logical in the approach of exploring such a farfetched concept, but as a result, the viewer cannot make sense of it. Is there value to work that the audience cannot understand?
Oh boy.
A series of abstract works playing with how transparent/translucent colours interact with each other to convey the intangible.
Artist—Olafur Eliasson
Publisher—Visual Publications Now 2009 2010(?)
Short Summary—
This work is a self-reflective piece. It is an abstract exploration practising the mapping of intangible emotions. It is open to interpretation, metaphorical and poetic.

My Interpretation—
I think this work may become useful if I need to explore different intangible things. As such, it could present an inspiration point.

While looking at this series of works, I have started to consider materiality and material interaction, and how that can be utilised to represent intangible things... I have also come to discover other people's works that are an attempt to convey and quantify complex ideas that are not quantifiable.
In this work, the connection between visual and accompanying text are so far apart that they are testing the limit of these connections. After trying to analyse this work, it has led me to ask whether this map did anything and question what the artist's purpose or intention was. Lead me to criticise this method of abstraction and whether it works for me.
