Shadow & The Light: Barbara Kasten

The medium of Photography has yet to have its Brown vs. Board of Education moment, happy to be separate but equal. What’s refreshing about the photographs of Barbara Kasten is her cultivation of how it can be integrated with other disciplines, such as painting, architecture, or sculptural concerns.

The dreams of a dark abyss are a chosen hardship, like a poem. To enter into such a place is to engage in a poetic kind of thinking.
