PHASES

Mixed Media

I chose the medium of photography and took inspiration from the artist Barbara Kasten. She uses color plexiglass and lighting to create pieces which explore perception and light. In my work, I used multi-colored plexiglass panels that I assembled on a table.

Then I was able to get a large spotlight to shine over the plexiglass. I suspended a paper cut out of a butterfly with thread from the plexiglass and started taking photos. This setup allowed me to experiment with lighting and shadow. I tried to express a fluid vision by taking photos at different angles which included closeup zoomed out, blurred, and abstract.
