Abstract
My thesis work explores color alongside its relation with surrounding colors and the effect that has on human perception. Because color and visual perception are subjective, not every person perceives color equally. Each of us has a subjective experience of color; the way we see color may be informed by our past experiences, memory, and culture, in addition to our neurological similarities and differences. The works I produce invite one to question their understanding of the connection between colors, and by extension, everything they think they know. My works are created by manipulating colors and objects that are thought to match with their corresponding or complementary shade. In these videos, objects are constantly shifting within colored grids to explore how colors function ambiguously in perception. I draw on the work of Joseph Kosuth, an American conceptual artist that creates conversations about objects and their representation, and the possibility of new meanings in which we express our experience of art. Josef Albers, a German artist known for his ‘Interaction of Color’, will also be discussed alongside my own experience in exploring his research, as well as exploration of Anoka Faruqee, Tomashi Jackson, Richard Anuszkiewicz, and René Magritte.
