Barbra Kasten's Cibachrome

Logan Sudol

Kasten's work is interesting because she only uses basic shapes and structures, but she uses composition and color to make the pieces real art as opposed to just shapes. Her art uses 3D objects, oftentimes with glass panes and colored light to make unique abstract photographs.  I found a couple of her other pieces that use mirrors to add another element to the piece. Some of her work also uses household objects and junk. I found one that uses a strange wireframe structure and corrugated sheet metal. Another piece used some chrome-covered books to reflect the colored light. 

Automated Color Field.

The Automated Colour Field by Rebecca Baumann was particularly interesting because it is a series of color panels on automated flip clocks. This piece changes color! This is interesting because at first it almost seems like color is not considered in the piece because the color changes. But that is exactly the point of the piece. It shows that color can be interesting even when it is displayed chaotically. Also although there is no clear color pallet there is a color theme because all of the panels are sort of pastel-y/light and warm.
