Barbara Kasten is one of the preeminent photographers working today. For the past 30 years, Kasten has created elaborate constructions. Barbara Kasten lives and works in Chicago.
She studied painting and textiles at the University of Arizona (BFA) and the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland (MFA) before transitioning into photography.
Her work from the early 1980s she was working with constructs with geometric objects, mirrors, and wire. Of this body of Polaroid prints,She consider her work as a process that transforms itself into something else. According to her interview, she mentioned about how she approach to her final work. Beginning with a simple, transparent, non-representational form, I create the image as I work through the possibilities of sculptural and lighting combination to a new point of perception. She doesn't want to call her works as abstract or modernism but she wants to put in concrete category and since she has background of constructions, I think she has own way that she wants to approach.
