I found out Sam Gilliam's artwork accidentally on the facebook. I was fascinated by his expressive use of color. He utilizes clothes as the medium that he works on his project. It was really cool that he didn't paint on the paper but transformed the 2D art work into 3D by hanging it up in the space. I felt that the interactions between color and spaces crates a harmony. Through different mediums, he succeeded in grabbing people's attention as well as expressing his feelings.
