Park’s work provoked me to think back to the characteristics of the crowd put forward by Canetti in Crowds and Power, in particular the ideas that ‘the crowd loves density’, ‘the crowd needs direction’ and that ‘the crowd always wants to grow’. I feel that the chaotic nature of Park’s work captures these features through the depiction of such erratic crowd scenes. As someone who likes to go to live music events, I regularly experience being in crowds and situations similar to the ones presented in these drawings which is an experience in itself, this again was described by Canetti. I think this is an interesting concept and something that I am now looking into so that I can portray being in a crowd in a different way where the focus is on the atmosphere and the experience of being in the situation.
