Ann Hamilton
Ann Hamilton is a visual artist internationally recognized for the sensory surrounds of her large-scale multi-media installations. Using time as process and material, her methods of making serve as an invocation of place, of collective voice, of communities past and of labor present. Noted for a dense accumulation of materials, her ephemeral environments create immersive experiences that poetically respond to the architectural presence and social history of their sites. Whether inhabiting a building four stories high or confined to the surface of a thimble, the genesis of Hamilton's art extends outwards from the primary projections of the hand and mouth. Her attention to the uttering of a sound or the shaping of a word with the hand places language and text at the tactile and metaphoric center of her installations. To enter their liminality is to be drawn equally into the sensory and linguistic capacities of comprehension that construct our faculties of memory, reason and imagination.

Nikolai Tolsty
Although when taking the pictures I had no inspiration from an artist as such but looking at Nikolai's work, both mine and hers are quite similar, she takes pictures of things through the cut out of animals and I take pictures of flowers through shapes that vary, examples of her work :
As you can see theres a few similarity's between my work and Miss Tolsty's she uses cut outs in front of things that may look similar to the animal, this relates to my work because I put cut outs in front of flowers and this yet they have no instant connection are similar.
My own thing
This is theoretically 3/4 artists styles in one but its also my style,with the pictures here, I haven't tried to mimic anyone I just took pictures of what I thought looked good, in my favourite's I laid the roses out placed a plan white cut out over it then took the picture through someone else's phone on a black and white filter the outcomes I think look beautiful and quite out of the box.
I was unable to find any artists that uses both the cut out and through the phone or even any named photographers that take through the phone.
