Master's Thesis References

Alongside my thesis, I took an independent study course in art history. We were expected to do in-depth research on an artist of our choice using books such as exhibition catalogues. The goal was to find inspiration or influence for our own creative practice. I chose Felix Gonzalez-Torres and these were my references:
