A few people inspired me to go life sized with my silhouettes, some of whom are the following, Kara Walker, Paul Chan, Tim Noble and Sue Webster.  All of them can be read about in my contextual notebook.  They are all silhouette artists however each person uses them differently.  Kara uses silhouettes to tell the apalling story of black slaves in America during the early 19th century.  Paul Chan is an activist and an artist who uses shadows to address international issues such as the war in the middle east with America.  Tim Noble and Sue Webster use everyday objects such as rubbish and light to cast a shadow of very convincing portraits of iconic stars.  Each persons work is truly remarkable in my opinion.
