Sam taylor wood


Sam Taylor Wood - she takes videos of decomposing things /animals/ fruits and makes them move slowly , the video I watched was about a decomposing Hair and over moths we see the changes of the hair as it becomes rotten seeing different stages of the Hair ,at the end of the video we see that the hair has completely decomposed and that the fruit has stayed completely the same,Taylor Wood said that at first she didn't want to become an artist at first but every idea she kept on producing were just so creative it turned out to be more artistic then the next.

Sam TaylornWood took photos of John Lennon for her work just a few hours before Lennon was assassinated ,she also worked with the Rolling Stones very own famous photographer Annie Leibovitz in the John Lennon photograph, Sam woods also used different ways of expressing her art by doing it other ways ,e.g she used video style to capture certain things for her work,In 1997 Woods won an award for her art work that she never really wanted to call art work in the start of her making the creative things she had done ,She won the Illy CafĂ© Prize for Most Promising Young Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale.

Taylor-Wood was commissioned by the National portrait gallery  to make a video portrait of footballs very own David Beckham,her most well know famous creative art work is called "crying men" which she made in early 2002 ,this features so many know Hollywood actors like Robin Williams, Sean Penn , Laurance fishburne and Paul Newman.Woods has also featured in such various things in her career away from her art work which she is most know for ,but things like TV shows and the annular film festival has boosted her name through out the world.
