Ostrer quotes, “My work is often like a constantly evolving self-help course where I am the therapist as well as the teacher” He states this explaining more about how he uses his art to help himself and other people with their addiction to unhealthy foods. He pours and smudges food over models and even tries to add emotion with the food that he uses, he does this by creating things such as tears with tomato sauce, or makes the model appear with an almost royal appearance. Ostrer cleverly uses the food to catch the eyes of the audience and then pulls them into the mystery even further with their different expressions. In this one particular artwork from the Wotsit All About project he makes the person seem as if they are a chaotic masterpiece of royalty ruling over your feelings and looking as if they have power over you.

In the second half of the twentieth century, artistic movements made pushes in order to move beyond the traditional gallery space, changing the terrain of displaying and making art. An artist’s body of work no longer needed to reside inside of a gallery or art collection, and artists became free to explore other ways of creating and displaying work. In this vein, Andy Goldsworthy works sculpturally with natural media, and leaves the sculptures within a particular environment, often expecting his work to decay quickly.
