Construct IV-A 1980

"Construct IV-A" (1980) by Barbara Kasten is a striking photograph that embodies the artist's signature style of exploring geometric abstraction through the interplay of light and shadow. The image features a suspended metal structure casting intricate, geometric shadows on a white wall, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The interplay of form and shadow creates a dynamic composition that draws the viewer's eye into the abstract world of Kasten's photographic exploration. This piece, like many of Kasten’s works, exemplifies her interest in the formal qualities of architecture and industrial design. The photograph is a testament to Kasten's ability to transform everyday objects into intriguing abstract compositions, highlighting the beauty of light, shadow, and form.
